realized that working in consulting made me more precise with the wording i use. for example: knowing the difference between “e.g.” and “i.e”.

how do i know this? bc i got schooled by a client

Eg: eggsample

Whatever. It works for me.

I’m at an agency where I love the people, the culture, and there is good work happening… but my main client is driving me insane. They’ve sent us swirling for about a year now and are creatively paralyzed - not able to make decisions and make something. Likely no new business opportunities until the new year. Should I stay or go?

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.

I am a VP with compensation of ₹48Lpa in India. Have an offer of €65K in Germany. The German offer is at a lower position and lower compensation as I do not know German (as yet) and senior roles would require client interaction (German clients).

I see it as an opportunity to get my foot into Germany on a EU Blue Card and then look for something better once there.

I am in a non-IT role.

Any thoughts?
