Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?

Hi Sharks,

I have 8+ yrs experience in .Net + Azure development with end to end delivery to client. Currently serving my notice period.

Having offer letters from few MNC's but aiming for a good product based organization for future stability.

I’m a senior at a mid tier and been working about 70-75 hours for last 3 weeks on a SEC client. Now I roll off to a new job but the manager wants me to come back and help out the team more. Should I do it? I don’t want to fail at both jobs. Is that even reasonable to ask someone to work on both jobs?

I recently joined IBM Kolkata for mainframe. Is there any project available for 7B ? 9.4 years exp.

Probably averaging 60hour/week over the past month. I'm not one to complain out loud. It comes with the territory and there will always be rough times. Lately the client has completely changed (contd)

I am thinking of going for a role working as a digital manager for a high end/luxury client. I am currently working on a tech client, but craving a change. Good move or na?

Started on a new client last summer. Ever since, I have had bad back/neck pain because of the atrocious/broken office “chairs” they give us. Will PwC pay for a new chair if I’m there 98% of the year?

Only senior on a demanding client, managing multiple staff and managers. I really like my team and the work but I’m starting to lose motivation and burn out after the long time being the only one in my position here... and I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but feels like I don’t get fairly paid for the amount of time and effort I put in... any advice to get out of this negative mindset?

My yearly appraisal in on the way. I worked for the same client for the last year but in 3 different projects. I received client appreciations in all 3 projects and in addition I also helped my account in creating proposals, etc. What should I expect in terms of rating and monitory appraisal. Would be thankful to any genuine advice.

Picked up a client who tells me part of the reason he chose me is that the other guys "put on too much of a show" w/ a ppt on the first visit. My concentration was on him and his situation, go figure.

How much programming language is important for a QA Engineer..

Need your inputs, I have experience in Java Automation for past 2 years.. now my yet join company is using Ruby for Automation. Not a big deal in learning about ruby. Only worried about that if I continue here, in process of learning ruby I might have unlearn java. If I need to come out then openings on Automation with ruby in the market is pretty much less I think..

Fellow QA's What are your thoughts on above.
