In mid July, I started a w2 contract on the client side. I’ve already done the onboarding process, and there’s projects in the pipeline. It’s just been a month and I haven’t been assigned any projects yet. Should I be concerned?

You should reach out to the project manager or the person you report to find out about the situation. I would have done so one week in. Are they paying you for waiting around?

In that case, enjoy getting paid for downtime but definitely check in with/ your supervisor

This is sorta on par for in-house. Relax, it’s going to be ok; just reach out and let people know you’re available

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
