Any idea how long FIS global Pune is allowing WFH?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Hi Fishes

I got offer from kyndryl and planing to join soon in few days.
I'm having 2 questions

Do kyndryl offer wfh.
Like 60 percent wfh and 40 percent from office .

Also how is the hike give for band 8.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?

Hi Friends,
Me and my girlfriend both live in the same city, working from home, living with our respective families.

Before covid and wfh, we were in gurgaon and we used to go to each other's places to have some "private time"

It looks like a distant luxury now.

Hi 🐠,

I have recently joined Infosys and they have put me in a project where I will be the only guy working in the team and the team lead is at the onsite location. Are such projects good? Because I haven’t worked like this anywhere before.

TIA :)

Hi Fishes,

Does Deloitte send starting kit with their goodies? Lately, I've been seeing a lot of these posts on LinkedIn and wondering if they send it to all new joiners or is random.

What is a good website to use to create a whole custom baby site?

Do most firms make you fulfill your two weeks when you put in notice of resignation?

I'm thinking about getting a dog. Good or bad idea while working in PA? How do you balance having a pet during busy season? I live alone.

How long does it take to get a full offer letter? I've been chasing continuously and have turned down other offers in the hopes that I can sign this one. It was supposed to be sent last week apparently but no sign of it yet

I have a new prospect. Small business owner that wants to start a 401k for himself and his employees. Who would be the top 2-3 organizations I contact, and what questions should I ask the providers?

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my book! Will some creatives be willing to review my work? Thanks🙏

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?

Any suggestions to filter the infestation?

The more I work in advertising, the more apparent that majority of companies (and my own colleagues) don’t know how to reach consumers like me. It’s absolutely tragic. (Cont’d)

We’re hiring on our media & connections team. Various levels. If you’re looking to make a jump from a traditional media agency or a strategist who wants to get closer to both media and creative. Lmk.

First time working with a celebrity for one of our campaigns. Anyone have any tips or advice? A little nervous here 😅

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.

Do you have a mentor? I’m in the autumn of my career and I’ve had a  modicum of success in production and it’s time to give back.

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.

How do you all feel about D&I Reports? Do you think they’re still valuable and a stand-alone report or part of an integrated corporate message?

Hey, so I’m going to my first 3% conference. I heard it’s usually white feminism x 100. But I was wondering what I should expect? Has anyone been.

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

Transparent moment: I,recently,was laid-off a week ago. At this point compensation and work culture are the only things I’m looking at. I don’t want to compromise my mental health and I don’t want to work somewhere that is super fast paced. How can you tell if a team has a burn out culture?
