I’ve got an offer from another agency: higher pay, title upgrade, but it’s a 12-month contract with no benefits and no guarantee of staying on. My current role is permanent with lower pay… and a workplace that’s purely toxic with back stabbing people and mangers

This would be my first time contracting, anything I should watch out for? Or is staying put the safer move considering the current economy?

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

Wow. Wayfair is a joke. I haven’t had a single good experience with anything I’ve purchased from them. And I only order things with good reviews! Now I’m waiting for a mattress which shipped last week...and won’t show up until September. HOW.

@PWC is worst company for freshers.

Don't fall trap in the brand name @PWC.

Asking for advice- I’ve realized consulting is not the path for me long term and have had plans to quit. I’m currently staffed on a project alone and feel lost as I don’t have much experience in this line of work. Deadline is approaching and I have voiced my concerns to finish in time. Manager is still reviewing my work and the turnaround time to make revisions and finish phase 2 work seems unlikely within a few days. Is it unreasonable to ask for another resource to help finish?

PI Attorneys: What are some of your best talking points in negotiations with adjusters?

Hi,

JPMC call candidate with 3 months of np for interview and expected CTC for 3.6 years of experience with techstack as java fullstack?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

I have an internal interview for a potential promotion soon. Any tips on how I should treat it vs. a regular interview?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
