Booz^ no kidding. You can pay me six figures to play around with a deck.

I once had a deck go back and forth for over a month between the client and I because he wanted to specify transition animations and change them every time I'd send him an update.
If the client wants to play "film director", that's on them. Extended my engagement by a few weeks, increased my billability.

I've never understood that. Clients are always cognizant of costs and everything, yet they have no trouble asking a team to spend another hour or two making basic color changes to decks

This is what I don't understand... You realize what you're paying us, and you want us to make simple happy-to-glad changes? Of course, if it's FFP it doesn't really matter, but we could be tackling "your hardest problems" and all that. If fonts and colors are your hardest problems... Well... LOL

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.

So I have this really strange satiation. I was asked to review a service agreement, and some attachments, governing website design and hosting client is buying. Literally 25 pages of the most ambiguous, inconsistent, supplier friendly thing I have ever read. Supplier insists using its documents (starting from scratch would have been Faster). The total deal is only $5,000 (which is an insanely good deal) but the time to fix these documents is going to exceed that. How would you deal with this?

So, what would you guys say are the Pros and Cons of being a Project Manager. Asking for a friend.

I've been working on this project for months and my manager hasn't given me any feedback on it. It's not like I'm asking for a gold star or anything, but a little encouragement would be nice. Do you think I should try to bring more attention to the project?

Hi,
I understand that this is not the platform to ask for the question I am about to ask, but I really need your help on this.
I am a software engineer with around 1 year working in a small software firm. Recently I have been asked to provide the architectural design/diagram for an already existing backend node.js project that I am the sole backend dev of, having never designed such things, I am really confused. Can anyone give me a reference to any architectural design of a nodejs project?

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
