Having to use my hotspot for the next few months on this project and only have a 1GB plan, obviously the overage data charge is going to be insane. Will that expense be approved?

Everyone gets the emails notifying of over-usage, but don't worry about it. If you're at a client site, it's expected.

Yes - many people go over 1GB and the firm won't give you any crap for it

Yeah not an issue. Do send an email to local IT saying this will be expected due to lack of Internet at client

I spend 2 hours a day being productive and the rest of the time watching Netflix/Hulu/etc or napping/eating.

Have been doing this for 3 months now and I continue to get positive feedback from everyone. I can do this for another year (duration of my project) and no one will say anything.

Had to get that off my chest. Life is so nice/on easy mode these days 😬

Interviewed for a senior strategist role and as we were griping about how clients can be, I said “oh yeah well the dream job is to never work with clients again right?!” And the recruiter just got back to me that “the role requires client interaction so that’s a dealbreaker”. I feel so dumb for getting comfortable during an interview to joke like that.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me with an information on how EY INDIA provides variable to employees. I know it's 0-20%, so is it monthly ? or what kind of measures they consider in order to provide variable pay.
Also, suppose the package is 6 Lakhs, so can we say that the package is 600000 + 20% of 6 Lakhs = 720000. (As EY has 20% variable Pay)

Thanks in Advance !
