Hi Folks,

I have my joining on Monday and need your advice on choosing between two offers.

BayOne Solutions (Cisco Client) – ₹13 LPA Fixed. I’ll work from the Cisco office with a Cisco laptop. It’s a 6-month client contract, after which BayOne may assign me to another client.

Happiest Minds – ₹12.5 LPA Fixed + ₹75K joining bonus. Permanent role.

Tech: Automation Testing | YOE: 4 years

Which one would you choose?

Also, does Cisco convert vendor/contract employees to permanent roles?

Im interviewing for an internal promotion at my current employer. I’ve previously expressed a lot of interest in this specific role and it’s well known throughout my division my interest. Even though I’ve conducted informational interviews before now to get a feel of the role, now that I’m going through the full interview process, it doesn’t seem like what I want to do any more. I’m considering withdrawing my application, but I’m afraid of the optics and future career at this company. Thoughts?

My hands are shaking!! I just got off a call with my toxic manager who is clearly not happy I am being poached for another division. I tried to hold firm as he attempted to 20 question me, who was it, who wants me, what division, how did they find out about me? And of course the gaslighting of “why didn’t you come to me I could have helped or made introductions”. Clearly everything is about him. How have you handled such situations? What could I have done better with my abusive manager?

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
