Hi All..Once project completed if no projects will HCL ask to relocate???

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Best easy to use prototyping software that could be used by any (non technical) consultant for client presentations?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I want to do tableau certification. How do you make deloitte pay for it. Do i talk to my project ppd? But i am highly skeptical as I do not do anything tableau related on project. Any way to get certification money for free?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

Has anyone had roommates who got sick with Covid and they managed to not catch it from them? If so, what precautions did you take? We have a good relationship and so far he’s been staying in his room and using a mask whenever he needs to use the restroom or grab water from the kitchen. I am the only one who touches the fridge and takes his food out so he can eat. What else can we really do?

Overhiring and project Hunting.

Are you doing same(project Hunting)? 😂

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Is Gary Vee still saying that all of their layoffs were not covid related? Vayner folks, is that true?

I became current for AOS in October and submitted all my documentation, but still no word from EY Law on submitting it. I don't know what to do 🥺

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

I have an interview coming up with the hiring manager for a senior tech writer role. Should I have data to back up a lot of my examples/experience?

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of data/numbers to use I just have a lot of anecdotal evidence.

Hi All,

Does LTI provide revised offer letter with new joining date and new salary structure?

Hello Fishes,
I have 7+ yoe of running my family logistics business and have an international MBA. I was planning to switch to a new company. What position and CTC should I expect?

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Hi fishes. Could use your guidance on my thoughts for few days. I’m a Bcom graduate with no exposure to tech or IT. I have been working in retail banking and now Im in Investment banking operations.

I am meeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time this weekend for dinner at a pretty nice restaurant. Her parents are fairly traditional Chinese mom and dad and I am not Chinese, or Asian for that matter… I don’t want to show up empty-handed - any ideas on good gifts for first time meeting Chinese parents?

I live in a condo w maybe 50 units currently half full. Our gym is still open. Rarely more than one person in it. My SO was pissed I went and said that’s breaking quarantine. Ridic or should not go?

First toilet paper, now it’s flour, yeast and baking products. Why is instant yeast 10x more expensive on amazon?! Is everyone really trying their hand at baking now? What happened to rice and pasta?

For those with spouses or family members who feel differently about COVID, what do you do? My husband and I have been on the same page up until now with the Delta variant.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

I asked my BF what movie the songs Circle of Life, I Just can't wait to be king, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight come from, and he has no idea!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Has anyone exited from consulting to their dream industry role? Was it worth it? While the fixed pay is good, the variable pay sucks here tbh.

How hard/ easy is to boomerang back to consulting?

Costco is selling washable black fabric masks by 32 degrees (brand) that are far more comfortable to wear than those medical masks. Highly recommend especially if you are not at high risk.

I’m not a sports guy, so I don’t care that sports are back.
If you do watch sports, how is it? Does it bring back any sense of normalcy?

What do you tell yourself when you’ve had the worst day?

Will the 4th of July become an end of Coronavirus party? I feel like those celebrations will, realistically, be the effective end of lockdown. They can take our (small f) freedom, but not our FREEDOM 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
