So student loans aren’t being forgiven this year…right? I think it’s time I open the flood gates and dump all I’ve been saving towards my loans. Or should I leave 10k in hopes of forgiveness later on?

Does cognizant match the counter offer?

Also while negotiate counter offer it requires share complete offer latter? Instead of screen sort of CTC break up

I am planning to shift to Data Analyst/Data scientist role. Right now i work for a project where I'm a software eng & we have to maintain our application on C++ code. It is more like support/dev and unit testing combined. Coding is hardly involved and my hold on DS is weak so not sure if I'll be able to crack technical interviews for C++ dev or anything similar.
So is this a right decision to move from application dev role to Data Science/analyst field? Does software engineer gets paid more?

How many fishes here who have got more than 500% hike while switching?

Can we do something if we are stuck in a situation where you have to wait 17 months for your first variable pay and 20 months for a first hike if we joined the organisation just after its appraisal cycle.
Note: wasn't aware about this at the time of joining

I have got an offer from Deloitte for 14LPA as a consultant. But my current organisation is trying to retain me by giving me a raise and promoting me to SSE with 11 LPA they have also promised to give me more interesting work according to my will. For now I have said yes to my current organisation. What should I do? Was this a correct decision?

ADHD in financial management. Curse or blessing when you do about a million things in a day for your clients and staff? Always suspected I had it. Never diagnosed.

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

I’m currently on pace to be just shy of having enough stays/nights to keep Hilton diamond for next year. Would there be any red flags if I were to stay in one hotel mon/tues and a different one wed?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Having the clients love an idea you had to fight to present is a bittersweet win- you feel validated, but also wish your team backed you from the start...anyone else experience this?

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Which holding company gets the best rental car discount? And which rental company?

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?

What do you do if you hate your partner?
