I have changed Infosys within 7 months.Now, I don't want to switch this early. Can somebody tell me about the good points, pros in FIS. I really want to change my mindset so that I feel happy here and can give back something to organization.FIS Global

If you aren’t married or partnered with someone for health insurance, be prepared to add 500-900 to your monthly bills.
Don’t forget about owing taxes and be sure to save every receipt on anything indefinitely to fight the IRS.
If you don’t have roommates and/or 6+ months of savings, money will be always tight.
If you don’t have a preexisting network, you will likely have to work for less.
Otherwise you’ll be fine! 🤡

Keep your day job. Try to take on some freelance but do it on DL . I say “try” b/c the market is horrific right now.
Barring the occasional oasis, most of us who are consistently booked solid have been in a desert for a year now.
Can you explain how it seems more appealing when it offers less job security and no health insurance?
Work from anywhere, flexible hours, no office politics and corporate nonsense, fewer meetings, building a business, being able to turn down sh*tty work, taking time off without begging for permission. I know freelancing is not all peaches and cream, but there's more to life than health insurance and the perception of job security. I'm definitely not ready to cast it all aside but I don't know how I'm supposed to do this for another 30 years
Um…don’t do this right now. There are creatives with award winning work and large networks that haven’t had work in months. Most long time freelancers are saying this has been worse then the 2008 recession in finding work. Yes project based work is up but it’s very, very competitive to land those projects.
