Today, I achieved what I previously thought impossible: I arrived at the client, and made it through the entire day without so much as opening my laptop bag, let alone removing or turning on my laptop

Also, P1, I'd argue spending the day away from the laptop means your job is LESS able to be automated. OP likely was present in meetings, connected in-person and focused on the phone without the constant ping of work email, must of which can be managed with an algorithm. Rather, he's able to do what a computer can't, read nuance, respond strategically.

PwC 2... I did the work for the whole team today, without my laptop, so you're right - I'm sure they appreciated it!

P1... context: "the whole team" is me and two fresh out of school Analysts and the project is in its second week, and it was their first day on the ground yesterday. So, if you, P2, and D1 would kindly GFY, that'd be grrrrrreat!

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

Would I be setting myself up for failure?

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
