How fast you can get out of said role

I’m not fully committed yet, so please tell me more

Get ready to write a 75 page word document on what the roles of a scrum master and agile team is.... I would stay far far away

SC1: If you’re working for Deloitte and you’re joining the account which I think you’re joining, you’re going to be working with some great Agile practitioners.

I’m currently on the commercial side, and while the work is faster pace, the Agile practices are nearly non-existent.

its actually good if you are at staff or senior level as it will give you lot of visibility to client leadership and ey engagement leadership. it worked out well for me in the past. it is basically all the credit and none of the blame role if you play it right ;)

For the CFE, did you do anything in addition to the ACFE prep course? The course is just practice questions, so I’m wondering where I can actually learn the information first before that.

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Im a bit burned out now and I would love to take a long break. I'm hoping I can take a break (2 months) between the transition but is this a good reason to move though? Would you move in my situation? Im sure there will be a signing bonus.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
