How many weeks out from roll off do you check out? My last week is currently scheduled for mid December and I have never cared less about doing quality work in my life. Took a nap at 3 PM yesterday and didn’t even bother to set up a fake meeting on my calendar first.

I’ve been checked out for about a year now. The highlight was last winter when I put myself on mute, turns off my camera, and then took a two hour nap in the middle of a four hour steerco. Best meeting I’ve been to all year.

I am currently in Entry Level Pool-Bangalore and will be 'Soft Locked' to Bench in a month's time. I wish to change my job location to either Indore in MP(top priority) or to Pune(MH).

(2) Should I wait till I get a project in Bangalore and then change location only if WFH gets over (if that is possible) or change it right now ?
(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
