In as much as I do not like work/office drama and I try my best to stay away from it, but it definitely has its own advantages because I have seen people who were not qualified for an internal role in my office but nominated because they are part of office politics. What's your take on office politics? Have you or anyone you know ever benefitted from office politics before?

I hate to say it, but I am very much involved in the office politics around my department. I have to be. All of my coworkers who opt out of it and pretend they are above it get ignored or overlooked or told they aren't doing enough.

With all the benefits that comes with office politics, I am already contemplating in joining it, but I do not like how draining it could also get.

Definitely have seen others benefit. I don't care much for it.

I get you, office politics could be draining, and it is completely valid if you do not want to get yourself in it.

Seeking advice: I’ve been working as an analyst at a PE company for 18months 4 days a week on a part time contract and I feel like they are under paying me. I’m earning 42.2K p.a They want me to go full time as I am graduating however I don’t know what the base salary for an analyst with 18 months experience would be. My friend who works as an analyst (with less experience than me) is earning 70K. Would love to get a sense of what I should be expecting / asking for when I go full time. Thanks!

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
