Question: Worst internal/team email sent to a client? What happened? Fired? Rolled off?

Hi all! I’m looking to start consulting for design systems work. Freelancers, I am curious what sorts of admin documents do you prepare for your client during the whole process? For example what type of contracts, statement of work, etc. Thanks!

I’m five years into this game and I still get panicky before client calls... All calls, really. How do I get over this?

What is the average salary of a project Engineer mechanical with 0-1 year of experience and with a Masters degree ? Talking about European countries precisely Nordic counties .

If you still believe the election was stolen, you should be fired from your job because no client deserves a consultant with such poor critical thinking skills.

Do people proactively begin finding work when they know they may be low on work soon? Or do they just wait until they actually don’t have enough work to fill their days? Have a larger project that is winding down and my main case is slowing down a bit so I anticipate potentially needing to find more work soon, and I was unsure if that was something I needed to worry about.

I am an associate with 3-4 months experience in ZS. Want to leave consulting. What are the exit options? 2020 batch Chemical engineer who joined ZS after 5 month experience in production company.
Learned Advanced Excel and SQL here and worked on some adhoc requests in project.

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Do we have any generic certification policy at HCL for upskilling.

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

Has anyone had a client they works with TigerConnect? I was recently approached for an interview but can’t find much information about them.

Client recently offered me a job for an open req (industry eq SM). The work is flexible, the req is just to get me in the door but I decide what I want to work on (which I trust to be true). Much better culture, wlb, etc., but I’d be taking a 100k pay cut and be an IC with no team. Is it worth taking a step back in pay and responsibilities, or does it seem possible to get all in one?

Any one here from HCL Bangalore working DBS project as a L2 Enginner?

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

I have worked my way up in Insurance for 4 years but the 1st year being an intern/front desk/admin and was promoted twice and now an account associate helping my AMs/AEs manage our Producers' books of business.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
