You don’t ever have to, it it’s always considerate. If on the bench, I’d just say “I can leave earlier if you prefer” and they’ll probably take you up on it.

I put in my notice, and HR asked me when my last day would be. I said “would it be fine if My last day is next week? I want to make sure I leave in good terms with everyone!” And they said no problem. Good luck! Ps I was at acn

Yes

Don’t because if they lay you off you get a nice severance package

Hey Fishes,

Recently got an offer from PharmEasy for the Data Analyst role with a 30 % hike from current salary at Deloitte, where CTC is 8.1 LPA
But will have to pay in the training cost along with the joining bonus which comes up to 2.4 lac. Really confused what to do as I've been on bench for 3 months now with no learning opportunity and don't know what kind of projects I might get ahead and what about the wlb as compared to PharmEasy.
Some insights will be much appreciated :)

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
