Onsite in San Diego—client left midway through the day for 2 hours to have his car detailed. Nothing gets done here! Are all clients in SoCal like this?

Yep. No successful companies in SoCal due to poor work ethic. Your one data point has exposed a huge fraud. Nice job!

I spent 5 years on projects in SoCal and there were pockets of people who used traffic as an excuse to show up no earlier than 9am and vanished around 3:30pm. Not many, but a few. And most of them seemed to take calls from their cars or worked a few hours from home in the evening. Inconvenient at times, but we worked around it as best we could

My one project in SoCal was my best one. Clients were tough but fair and wanted everyone to be able to leave early.

How about carne asada fries?

Hi,
I understand that this is not the platform to ask for the question I am about to ask, but I really need your help on this.
I am a software engineer with around 1 year working in a small software firm. Recently I have been asked to provide the architectural design/diagram for an already existing backend node.js project that I am the sole backend dev of, having never designed such things, I am really confused. Can anyone give me a reference to any architectural design of a nodejs project?

The base is not changing much for me. I am Senior Managing Consultant at IBM.

Never saw IBM giving 10% bonus for last 10 years anyway. But heard Accenture gives 15K roughly to SM.

Tried to negotiate but Accenture is not willing to change base. They added 10K in RSU and Joining to make 40 each.
