One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

That’s a lie. They can’t guarantee that. You can’t tell the client that you’ll only work four days out of the week. If you’re an SWE, you very well know that working with dev teams is based on your sprints and they will always expect to get 100% capacity.

I have contractors and consultants on my teams and I expect 40 hours of work.

Hi folks, I have been approached by the internal recruiter of the consulting company named Credera. One key selling point, as they are trying to offer is the opportunity to work one day a week to use for things like training, acquiring certifications or building applications that you are interested in.

This sounds amazing. I don't get that at my current job. So, is this too good to be true? I would like your opinion on this.

Yea I wouldnt count on that. I’m supposed to have 2 hours a week of personal development time and I only occasionally have the ability to use it.
