Hi all, I’m an ID attorney who deals with lots of construction issue claims. I am converting my garage into a bedroom. I have felt out about 10 different contractors, all who put their own price tag on the project ranging from $25-$36k. We have chosen a contractor we like, and I asked for his contract last night. All I got was a restatement of the estimate with a signature line—no contingency clauses, lien information, definitions, etc. How do I go about revising w/out sounding difficult?

2 months over still i have not got the project , what's going on is it safe to stay ?

Hi Fishes. I interviewed for Atos-syntel. The HR said she'll tag me in project as soon as Offer is released (even though I still have a month's notice period left in current company) and said "give me assurance that you'll join the company if I release the offer otherwise I'll blacklist you from Atos and partner clients"
Is it okay to ditch her if I eventually get an offer from a better product based company with better CTC? Also, Can she blacklist me for not joining Atos after accepting offer?

I co-founded a startup a few months ago and we’ve been trying to raise for pre-seed (currently have a working prototype and need funding to build full MVP). I’ve been focused on making real connections, and it’s been great getting to know founders and VCs on a personal level (+got helpful feedback), but not much luck for funding. Do you just play the numbers game and contact as many VCs as possible until a smaller lesser-known VC is interested?
