[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?

Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!
Where/ how can I learn Azure?
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

In the 80s I probably would have been somewhere in the DOS utilities space. Go watch episodes of Computer Chronicles on Youtube sometime, especially the software review segments with Paul Schindler. It's crazy to see what utilities people were paying $40 for back in 1987 that we take for granted now.
I have no idea. Probably whatever someone was willing to pay me for. I doubt I'd have had the foresight to predict what people would actually want/need.
That's a fun question. I suppose I would have looked around and tried to figure out what business people needed, as that seemed to be the only consumers for computers at the time. I guess that's more or less what happened, people developed accounting software and spreadsheets and inventory control applications. Once computers really spilled into the general population in the early 80s things became more creative.
I was a programmer then and this question makes me feel old.
