The final countdown...

Signing bonuses still a thing? Recently talked to a recruiter who said firms have gone 180 on these recently…

Who’s all tailgating before the UT game this weekend? 🍻🏈

Started a new job and meeting the team for the first time tomorrow (via zoom). I have natural curls (2C/3A) and in the past have always blown it out for first impressions. I’m considering letting it curl for tomorrow’s meeting but am overthinking it (I normally wear it curly for work, if that matters)… any thoughts?

Has anyone EVER billed a day/a week/whatever and had someone question them on exactly what project they worked on and what they did?

My firm pays out bonuses in January. Does it make sense to max out my 401k from my bonus? I believe bonuses are taxed at a higher rate if I’m not mistaken.

Any retired / vrs army officer here?

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

Hi All,

need suggestions from you all.

I have received an OL from TCS with DOJ 17th and Barclays HR and manager gave me oral conformation about my selection. I submitted all my docs on 13th of June and still waiting for OL and if I get OL by this , Is that possible to join Barclays by 17th.

Is that wise to wait for Barclays as TCS is not extending DOJ further (already did twice In the hope of Barclays)

Damn, I am still so sad with KK news. He was such a gifted singer and had a magical voice. every time I bought a new headphone I always tested them with KK's songs for vocals. His best songs are Labon ko (Bhool bhulaiya 1) and Khuda Jane. Interestingly he also sang for tamil hits like Apadi podu, Uyirin uyire, telugu hits like -feel my love.
His live voice was as good as his studio recording voice, just wow!

Mindtree vs TechM vs BNY

Which organisation is better for learning and yearly growth.

Yo can a staff 1 get into that mobility program?

I’m taking the SAA soon. Any advice on how to prepare? I’ve already seen ACG videos, read white papers… any other resources I could leverage for practice questions?

I have a substitute teacher orientation to go to tomorrow. What should I wear? Business suit or is that too much?

Is it ok to be short and direct in an email? Do you ever do that with colleagues, admin, or parents? Or do you always take the time to add niceties like “I hope you’re well,” and “I’m sorry to reach out about this again” and “thank you so much for your perspective! I really appreciate it!” — before just stating your stance, reiterating what you already said, or asking a question?

How do I find people in my district

Just learned that a teacher in one of the schools I service died of unknown causes in her sleep over the w/e. She was 51. We are on spring break now and am not looking forward to Monday and Tuesday with all the crisis work ahead of us.
What a year!
