If they require it, I would, but I’d make sure they’re aware of it and OK with that before doing so

If you’re freelancing as your own business, that’s a write-off, no?

That said, if they’re requiring it, I’d tell them I’ll be submitting it as a reimbursable expense and see what they said.

Yes, although o find when those things are required the agency will provide them. If they don’t, it gets billed back to them.

Do we have any generic certification policy at HCL for upskilling.

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
