I feel like I work at 50% capacity and yet I’m getting pats on the back for my work. Maybe agency life prepared me well for the brand side?

Totally. Sometimes I do the most basic planner shit and people freak out like I’m some genius. The bar is much lower client side.

Hi folks,

Infosys consulting HR told me over the call that we are happy to provide you the offer and she will start the process and I should get an offer within a week.

After 10 days, I followed up with her and she is saying that they are working on it.

Now after 8 days again still there is no offer from their side.

Any idea how long I need to wait for the offer ?

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

Most of my freelance work over the past three years has been cannabis industry related. I was hired in the beginning of November in-house for a growing brand. (pun not intended) It feels like the wild west where anything goes and most people seem to be winging it.

So much potential to do great work, but nothing I would show or be proud of. I did better work as a consultant.
