Starting project in Orlando next week. Looking forward to abusing my AMEX and dignity at Rainforest Cafe.

I saw a dream that project let me go! I was so happy in my dream! and woke up to this reality- been on this public sector client for 16 months and 10 more months to go. Arrrggghhh..

Asked this in another group and realized this group might have more insight. Which one should I get: Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve?
I have a 1.5% cash back card from CapitalOne

Well this is gonna be long post.
Working at hybrid model of IT company and PSU company. My employer IT company lost bid and now the contract is of another company. We have been asked that contract over as on 31.7.2022 and we are supposed to go and sit at company office. It's a loss of pay for 100 people on project. Our company said we can't join new bidder company because we signed agreement on offer letter that we won't be joining client for atleast a year. It's inconvenient and crazy for us.

Any of you still flying to client site?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Hello Fishes,
I joined Cognizant in July, but have setup my Goperform goals around October due to late project onboarding.

Thank GOD I've found my people! It is SOOO hard to talk freely about things going on right now. Those of us at my school who support Trump, do so as if we're in "underground" communications with hushed tones while scoping out our environment.

Science and art are completely intertwined as I see it; color theory, composition, and balance all coming together to create a cohesive whole. Thoughts?

Do you have a set $ you save every month? I'm 27, I've been tracking spend since 2020 and my $ saved has very strong variances MoM. If we consider 2021 a more "regular" year, I varied from $600 saved one month up to $3.2k in another (though that was partially due to a job change)... It's not affecting my overall saving % (was 46%) but wondering if I should try to even it out a bit more?

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.

How to pivot to AP or A&M from tech consulting? Obviously thinking MBA - will PT suffice? Will even full-time suffice? Or doomed bc I would need industry experience already?
