My goal as someone early in their career is to get as much hands on & in field experience (interior design) as possible & to potentially start my own business in the future. Currently I am in between two job offers, one being full time at a medium size corporate but the role is more of an assistant in a medium size firm. The other is a newly formed company under a freelancer but the position is part time. Finances are not a worry for me, but I wonder which will be better for my career growth.

Just going by what you've said, and knowing nothing about the two employers, I'd say you're better off working in the established company. Working for a new entity can be exciting and it can work out very well for someone, but it's always a gamble. With an established organization at least you know what to expect and working within their system will likely teach you a lot.

In this job market, I would choose the full-time role over the part-time one. It doesn’t sound like the part-time position would include benefits anyway, which I’m sure is also a concern.

I’m an Environmental Protection Specialist and make pretty good money for what I do. I just feel like I have more to offer than being a worker bee in a system at 25. I work with a lot of retirees and would love to return in my latter professional years. I have my Bachelors in Applied Coastal Environmental Science and want to expand my options. Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.

Lets us discuss why Indian companies expects/forces/ us to work more than 9 hours but in timesheet we have to fill 8.
Managers schedule meeting after office hours and expects us to be available always.

Sorry to say this but I have seen only Indians who work extra hours. What's even funny is that the upper management laugh at foreigners who work exactly 8hours.

Should we not change our mentality?
What should we do to not follow this anymore?

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
