How much EY GDS pays for test lead position with automation experience?

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

Hi all, when will Fidelity investments pay salary , is it last day of the month? Where and when we can see the payslips. Am new to the company and not sure how to clarify these , please clarify.

Most staff/sr assoc would make 80% of salary for the next 4 months if fired & yet firms are considering pay cuts.
