Laid off last year due to a client loss.

Got a job shortly after.

Laid off today from that job due to changes in the scope of work.

I’ve never hated this industry so much.

Freelance is the way to go. I’ve ALWAYS made more that I ever did full time 13 years ago. Will never do staff again.

Yeah I had and now see the current CD / AD grind. For me I switched it up; not worth it. Went in-house, then UX/UI and am on the hunt while freelancing. It’s exhausting all around anymore but work to stay focused on the goals. Good Luck! 🍀

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
