Bingo.

They try to overwork the current employee roster so they can post more profits for shareholders

I think some of them try to spread out the new work load amongst existing employees first.

You don’t win an account and then immediately start hiring for it because a) you don’t really know what your staffing needs are until you get into it and b) if the new client is a big corporation you’re likely not getting paid for 90-120 days after your first kickoff.

Hey all newbie here. My husband and I are living that Double Income No Kid life wanting to (Financial Independence) Retire Early.

Both in tech in the Bay Area. I’m in Arizona visiting family and am thinking of an investment property. Does anyone have a book/course/video that they personally have used and recommend for flipping houses? I want to do some research there’s a lot of content out there.
Thanks a bunch!

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

Everything we say seems to get twisted.
