Yep, they said I could freelance for a month to try it out. It turned into 8 months, then I left the second I got a full time gig I actually wanted.

Ah perfect! Thanks 🙂 I will use that🤞🏼

I have a current CTC of 6.6 and Mastercard is offering 8.9 (including variable ) . I also have an offer from infosys of 10 ( including variable). Which one should I pick considering work life balance and
appraisal.My entire doubt is that will they bring me on market rate after appraisals as currently they are not offering very good hike.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
