The hardest part about constantly trying to prove yourself to everyone is that you never get the validation you’re really after because it’s never enough. So yes I will work on that proactive weekend project.

Just so you know, doing it will not necessarily get you any points with anyone and won’t save you from a layoff. I’ve seen the hardest working and most talented people get the ax while some idiots just coast.

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?

I have started my career at Wipro Technologies 6.3 years back and left 4 years back.

I am in process of choosing an opportunity with Tech Mahindra and Wipro Digital or Cognizant ?

I am looking for an long term association with company for at least 4 years from now. (company work culture and technology growth is priority)

Which one would be good in terms of your knowledge and experiences ?

Technology : RPA (UiPath)
Client : UHG

Any information would really help me a lot to my career.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
