Hi All,

Anyone here who has 1 year GAP between graduation and first employment?

I am 2020 passout but due to Covid my exams happened in December 2020 and results got announced in 2021 and hence I joined my first organisation in March 2021, but my degree certificate is mentioned 2020 as passout and that's the reason it has created a gap of 1 year without any reason.

Now I received OL from TCS but not sure will affidavit with all this information will work during BGV

Any comments appreciated!

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

I've seen that some lab levels can accurately predict mortality of COVID-19. What are you seeing
in your practice?

A friend of mine works with TCS as an Analyst, his base location is Bengaluru but he is been working from his hometown in Lucknow since the first COVID lockdown. Now he is being asked by his team to work from Ahmedabad, where his direct supervisor (manager) is working from. In this case, according to TCS talent policies, what is the procedure and the benefits that he can avail, as part of project initiated relocation? Also, how long it takes to get base location changed through HR in TCS?

Are Estate planners very busy during covid? Some have told me they are not and it surprised me.

I think it's easy to blame the increasing rates of COVID-19 in the community on people not wearing masks. Personally, I blame it on the glaring failure of the federal and state government and the public health system in the USA.

Are 401k’s really worth investing in these days? What are the % returns you guys have been seeing for the last few years? For those that have been working before 2008, how much of an impact did the housing crash have on 401k and how much did the recent COVID pandemic affect it?

It’s been two weeks since my final interview and no update. Does anyone know if all jobs were cancelled or postponed due to COVID this month of June

Got a client who’s asked for a POV on how covid-19 will affect buys across ALL verticals & channels. Of course it’s urgent. Can we please share what our companies are saying? Teamwork time, folks.

For folks that are in the interview process, are u negotiating for best salary or just taking what you get , asking because market is slow cause of Covid.

How do you guys really think COVID-19 will affect the rest of the school year. My coworkers and a bunch of other people seem to think we won’t go back until the fall 😕 It breaks my heart to hear.

How to handle the dual employment in BGV? I have a friend who have a overlap of 30-40 days from his last organization which is not disclosed in CV and with current organization. I feel UAN check will spoil it but his overlap is cuz he wasn't able to return assets back during COVID. Any suggestions?

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

Sick of people saying don't wear a mask. Wear a mask people, if you have one. The CDC says only wear them when you are sick. But isn't that the tricky part of Covid19? That you can be asymptomatic?

Too much noise out there - can someone confirm or deny whether the US Government funded gain of function research related to Covid?

What challenges have you all faced in light of COVID and how have you adapted models/forecasts?

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??

Anyone working/has worked remotely outside the US during covid? What are the legal/tax/IT implications to be aware of? I’ve been in India for a few weeks and wondering how long I can continue working from here.

I left bedside nursing and the hospital 2 years ago. I don't feel guilty about it and honestly this pandemic
has convinced me to never return.

Anyone have recommendations for solid couples massages? Want to treat my SO to a pamper day from a legit place that knows what they’re doing since she has back problems

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Are there any recruiters who are currently actively looking to fill roles within start-up like companies? I have a background in accounting/compliance and was wondering if there were any start up companies within open roles in that space.

I am possibly going into a cyber security role where I would be leading internal and external content. Thing is, my career has mainly been in fashion which I am trying to move away from, to get into the tech space. This is a great opportunity that will definitely teach me a lot and help get me further into tech. Problem: I’m scared. I’m scared I won’t enjoy it, scared I’ll be bored!!!, scared I’ll fail, scared I’d be making a mistake. Any advice? Has anyone pivoted like this? I want to be open.
