I am looking to apply at The Options Clearing Corporation. I see negative reviews on strict 9-5 office presence, use of monitoring software. My primary concern is about the strict 9-5 office presence. What happens if I had an appointment (1-2 hrs) one of the days. Is there flexibility to "come late/leave early/step out", or thats a issue and HR escalation and OCC expects employees to take day off. Similarly, what if I off for 2 days, will they expect me to come to office the remaining 3 days?

You might as well apply and then bring up those concerns if you're interviewed. Some places are very rigid about that kind of thing and it's like working in some kind of weird panopticon. If you have to be in the chair and using a mouse jiggler to keep the job it's probably a pretty miserable experience.

Something good to ask about further in the process. I have worked at placers where stepping out for a couple hours for an appointment wasn’t allowed. You would just have to take off the whole day and use up PTO or something for it.

They do expect you to be in the office 9-5, but you get 10 days per year for exceptions. Everyone has to be in on anchor days, and you pick your regular third day. If you wanted to work from home on one of those three days, you would get an exception from your manager to come in a different day that week. Disclaimer that this is how it works for most people, but it may be different if you have a disability or are pregnant, etc.

Strict 9-5 is false. On your 3 required in office days, you may start no later than 9am and must work a minimum of 8 hours. Additionally, you're allowed exceptions and flexibility, in my experience.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
