I’ve been at my current company for 6 months and my direct manager is exiting the company. I’d like to ask if I’d be considered for the position but am not sure how to go about it?

Hello Fishes,

Please Genuine Help Required

Which one to choose for 8.5 years of Exp

Exl Service ( 21 LPA fixed and 2.5 LPA variable)
Wipro (21 LPA fixed) client location and No WfH, No Cabs
Xceedence (21 LpA ) and 1.05 LPA variable)

So I was working for this person that has a small business. She would pay me 300 Australian dollars per week and I would manage 2 Instagram accounts , one Facebook. Update photos in every other account she possibly had if necessary, upload content to her Wordpress, did the 50 percent of the redesign of her website, seo, client responses via WhatsApp, and an hour of photo shoot every week , also spending a couple of hours with her in meetings. Never got paid meetings or transport. Was i an idiot?
