You didn't tell your current project that you were looking for another one?

Wait, do you have confirmation to role off?

You can’t just ask to be put on the bench. Such a terrible look. Only way this works is if new project starts you early and even then old project has preference bc it could disrupt delivery

Unless you can find a replacement and have your team (and maybe client) agree on the switch you won’t be abandoning anyone, you will be there with them until they roll you off.

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.

Landed a job in NYC. As much as I want to live there and will be moving in with my partner I think the most financially savvy option is to live in Jersey city to save on the city tax. Both our salaries would definitely go up next year so moving to the city would be a huge possibility in 2022. Has anyone else started our in Jersey city first ? Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
