Broadway- but the odds are never in your favor there. So much success depends on luck, and even if you get a chance, you never know where your next paycheck is coming from if you get injured...

So if I work with a label on weekends and after work, do you know if thats a conflict of interest?

Hi All, yoe - 8 and tech stack - Azure data engineer.
Telstra is offering 29 fixed + 2 variable pay. Is this ok or they can give more if I negotiate ?

Also, does telstra have good cloud projects and wlb and job security ?

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.
