Was told I would be full time, then contract extended, so I applied for a full time role on another team. In the same day, got both FT offers. It’s a game. Play wisely 😉

6-8 months if you campaign for it, and let your intentions known, really consider if that's what you want.

Oh nice that’s giving me hope!

I’m still waiting

Can you do that? Apply elsewhere when you’re about to turn FT?

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?
