So I’m doing a tiny freelance project for 2 days. I’m being asked to: Set-up/get on a company email Acct. Sign up to an adobe ‘all apps plan.’ Enroll in ‘security awareness training’ (phishing school?) Join Dropbox. Join workamajig for timesheets. Get another zoom Acct. Join monotype. I’m sure there will be a payment app to join too. 😬😬😬 can I bill a whole extra day for this torment?

Hey Guys, Currently I am having 16.12 lac pa in current organization and 5% Bonus So total comes around 16.93lac pa. Nagarro is asking me to rejoin at 20 lac pa (5% Project bonus included).
When I left Nagarro around 2 years back my fixed there was 11.50. Shall I consider this offer of Nagarro. Reason I want to change the job is because I don't have code based automation in my current organization and I have been an SDET in my whole experience.
