Have you started a gig and realized it's not at all the right fit? My first week and I know I'm not going to stay here and I don't want mislead them especially because we were talking temp to perm.

Good advice. This is a very small industry so not worth burning bridges. I’ve also been in situations where I carefully avoided any convos about perm. Ended up freelancing there for 3m then they brought me back for other engagements and none was the wiser that I thought they were crazy and only wanted freelance

Agree. If u can leave, leave. You dont owe anybody anything.

Yeah I had one last year. I never felt comfortable. Couldn’t wait to get out of there .

I don't know what to do at this point. I've set up a check in with my manager and I kind of want to be asked off the project because I'm just not the right resource for this but I don't know a way to do this diplomatically

I have been in that situation. I spoke to my manager and flagged my concerns on day 1 of the gig. He convinced me to stay on, but it took the pressure off since I had given them an “out” because I felt I was not the right resource. Ended up extending a couple times but I was honest along the way about it not being the right fit for my skill set. I think it’s better to be open and confront it early — it’s not personal and you’re not saying they suck.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Today I had a very transparent conversation with my TA Director. I was not eligible for the merit increase due to my start date. I was very open about wanting to grow with an organization and even talked about hoping that they could rectify this in someway. She mentioned that she was going to look into it with her boss to see where they can meet me at. Or do you think I overstepped the line By being so transparent about my wants for compensation and within the organization?

General question about LinkedIn, but I figured recruiters may have a better perspective.

Is it really beneficial to have a LinkedIn premium account over the regular free account? I’m currently looking for opportunities and wondering if it really will make a difference to pay the price and subscribe to the premium account.
Can anyone recommend if, and how it will, or will not help?
