I’m an introvert. Interviews are torture. The thought of going into another new job and having to meet new people is scary. And now I’m supposed to network? Any suggestions for a shy person?

The best way to go about this, is to trick your mind to thinking it’s not a big deal. If we look at it from a different angle. You’re just helping someone out that has an issue and your skills and experiences will make it easier for them. They will even pay you for helping them. When I go into interviews, I think mostly about how I can help them move forward.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
