OP here, they keep talking about their impending transfer in a year and I'm a bit salty she's not giving the task at hand the appropriate attention. On-site the client loves us, so I'd like to keep the professional relationship going.

Work with them to identify a goal they have that is beyond their time there;
see if you can tie what they’re working on now to that goal so they can see they’re currently working on that goal.

Find out their core drive. Are they competitive and want to win? Are they people-pleasing and want to be liked? There are different strategies for different drives. If they treat their job passively, then threaten them with tales of other passive people getting let go.

Hey fishes,

I got an offer from a company below is the compensation layout. Can you all tell me what will be the in-hand salary per month, will it be 49k?
I can see that EPF for employer is also deducted from my salary so this is not correct based on the EPF Act, is there some other thing which is not correct in the given Annexure?

Thank you!

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Is it normal for a start-up to be super vague and keep setting up meetings to get to know you but gives you bare minimum details about them?

I had a start-up reach out to me and after a few meetings I have barely been able to get any information about them. I don't know name, size, or anything but a vague description about what they offer (don't even know what role they would want me in). Is this normal or am I right to be annoyed?
