Hello fishes. I was on maternity leave. I need to join back in a week and right now I am on bench. I am looking for a change. IBM has 90 days notice period. If I tell the recruiter that it is negotiable, then they will ask for reason. I am not able to tell them that I was on ML and on bench now. What else I can say? Please suggest.

Why can't you tell them that you were on Maternity leave and now on bench? What is wrong with that?

Right. Thanks for your suggestions. 🙏🙂

Please be straight to what you are into, that gives positive impression on you from HR.

Sure. I will definitely tell that straight forward anymore.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great
