The elusive white whale… and at retail too…

Is it SAFE joining Wipro as technical lead (B3) with 37LPA? Knowing that package is pretty high as compared to collogues in same band. HR is not ready to give project manager(C1) position.
Appreciate your suggestions/input.
Would there be any scope of increment going forward?

Same here. My wife is a nurse and she has patients who are suspected but not confirmed. The hospital does not have enough N95, so its reserved for nurses and doctors who have comfirmed positive cases. We live with our elderly mom and I have pre existing conditions. I have found one person in craigslist but he is asking for $50 each. I am going to meet him tomorrow so that wife can wear it at work.
Jesus Christ. If you happen to live in or around Queens, I will give you one. My husband does HVAC and found a few in his truck that are clean.
My brother-in-law is an infectious disease doc, and my sister just added us into their will. They’re talking in real terms about who would care for their daughter if something were to happen. As another friend (ER doc) put it, their ‘preparations’ are like bringing a toothpick to a gun fight.

I’m sorry you are in this position, but it is important to arrange for your family, worst case scenario. I know we all don’t want to thinking about that. If you need an attorney to address the will please DM me - there are several that can help that do not take joy in taking your money for this type of service.
Like “Please, I’d like it, I’m a family doctor and I’m 6 months pregnant but they’re diverting n95 masks to high risk clinics, so they’re having us wear surgical masks.” There were a bunch of responses like that, and it made me depressed about our lack of resources and preparedness. Doctors and nurses everywhere are putting their lives on the line. 😞
Frankly someone like this may get better use out of it than a ER. Apparently a lot of this stuff is getting tossed after a use or two, whereas if someone only has one I feel like they would spend the time to sanitize and reuse. They also don’t really have the avenue to get any masks at all like the hospitals do

Maybe we should try to sew some medical grade masks that can be washed/sanitized and re-used. I wonder what the protocols are on that...

Thanks!!

Do you want the rona? Because that’s how you get the rona
There with you. Some of this is not a shortage as much as it is non-healthcare workers dooms day prepping.
I had to negotiate with my MIL who is not in healthcare but thought buying 40 n95’s was a good idea to send just 1 to my kid brother who is a third year med student and has clinicals at 6-8 hospitals in his region.. Truly sad 😞
