There are times when pushing back saves the project.
It’s never easy, but it’s part of protecting the work (and the team!)
How do you decide when to stand your ground?

Seeing as the last person who pushed back at our company got fired, I will continue to keep my mouth shut and do as I'm told 😅 I think I'd honestly have a stronger backbone if this job market was better and I wasn't fearful of being unemployed.

Depends on the company. Really. Also I’m not sure if you’re referring to pushing back dates or pushing back on demands from above.

Either or depends on the company. At my current company I learned to produce utter crap because that’s what management wants and likes…

It's really hard to speak in general terms about "pushing back." What are we pushing back on? I would approach each individual "push back" differently depending on context.

Usually if I get a nagging feeling in the back of my head I have to push back even if people don’t agree. If I don’t I always know I’ll end up regretting it because sometimes it could be the saving decision.

Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB

I joined CG on September 15 2021. Got default rating 3 but haven't received increment letter yet. Can anyone tell me when will I receive the increment letter.

I broke through the wall in 2020 and feel like I blinked and it is 2022. I have been saving something close to 75% of my take home and dumping into ETFs. I feel like I want to branch out into real-estate but never lived anywhere more that 3 years. What would you do? I have cash to put a large down payment to avoid the high rates but am scared I have no roots and will move in another few years.
