Hi Fishes,
I joined my current organization 3 months back.
Didnt allocated any project yet.

Now i am looking for a change:
Can someone refer me:
YOE :8.9
Location: Bangalore
Notice period: 30days
skills: java, spring boot, hibernate.

Thanks in advance.

I just changed my role to project management...I start to hate this when I'm doing the detailed plans. I have never been a detailed oriented person and it takes too much of my mental energy when working on very details. I guess I'm happy about the change I made but still need to find something I want to do in long run.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
