Hello fishes,
How is shell project in cgi? How is the wlb in that project?

I work in a project right now with loads of contractors and they all seem to be earning so much more and also have the flexibility to manage their life better. Kinda intrigued by it.

I don’t understand why we are all obsessed with the title and company. Will probably wait till I have more YOE to move onto contracting personally, but that’s cause I am a creature of habit and like security.

Instagram Contact Anyone?
I'm here as a last resort, working pro-bono on helping launch a small charity based e-commerce brand. I was obtaining the socials and got to instagram. The account was immediately banned for no reason (not an offensive name, client actually owns a trademark for the name) Guessing you know where this story goes. It's been weeks of trying to get contact. Did the verification codes and ID photos but nothing. Anyone have a contact for a real human being that might help?

Hi All, Am a developer mainly working with SQL and I want to move to AWS (devops), so I started to learn & practice few tools such as terraform, saltstack, prometheus, etc.
But I do not have hands on a live project, any ideas if companies would take in beginners in AWS ? Even though there are cloud projects in my domain it is a bit difficult to get into those projects as my lead & manager give me the standard answer "you're a critical resource for our project" :(
Any advice guys ?

Question for career Project/Program Managers: is anything can be called a "project" and treated like one? Isn't a "project" defined as achieving a concrete outcome within certain timelines?
I am often staffed as PMO on engagements that aren't "projects" per se, just a collection of various day-to-day activities performed by people as part of their "regular" jobs. I am then asked to produce Project Plans, Risk/Issues logs, status updates, etc.
Is this normal?
