I was able to change the default hand index finger cursor on my portfolio site to the middle finger using some code I found. Is this a fun small detail or would people find it offensive or stupid. I think it’s funny. Another safe option I have is the “rock on” hand gesture. Thoughts

It depends on your level and like the style of creative you’re going for.

If you’re junior-ish/not super client facing and you’re looking specifically for roles at shops that consider themselves more edgy or creative, go for it.

If I saw that from a CD or if someone applied somewhere more corporate, I think it would hinder them

Thanks, make sense. I’m trying to apply to junior positions at any agencies. I will keep it then.

I would go with rock on. Middle finger feels like you’re trying too hard.

Can you change it to pinky finger?
That's funnier.

Hello fishes, I joined IBM on 16th Aug 2021 as a Data Scientist and was offered 1L joining bonus. Will I have to pay back the joining bonus if I leave IBM on 16th Aug 2022 , i.e , after completing 1 year ?

I just signed the offer letter from Absolutdata acquired by Infogain , and even before joining the company they sent me a welcome kit.
I am unsure of joining them in case I get a better counter offer, but I am a bit worried now since they already sent me a welcome kit. I am wondering what made them sure that I will join them and not any other company. Is it that after signing offer letter I cannot join other company?

Hi Fishes,

CCTC: 15.25 fixed (JPMC) + 10% Bonus (Not a part of CTC)

Got an offer from @IBM ISL

Offered CTC : 22.5 fixed +2.5 JB

Is it a fair amount for 8.5 YOE? Should he negotiate further. As this is his first offer , should he keep trying for better salary?
