Totally used to long days, but back-to-back 12-14 hours RIGHT after 2 weeks of bench is killer.

@A1 how long on the bench?

*sigh* 5 weeks. My region/alignment doesn't have a ton of roles right now. The worst part is I'm historically a 'high performer' but I'm having a hard time getting my foot in the door anywhere other than the client that held me hostage for 2.5 years.

Ah. Yeah I've had that issue before. Keep your head up though! Bother any MD you can get your hands on

I'm not in the West, but would be open to moving into the region. Does that count?

Sorry homie, new client. Not large enough to support a move

Bench and tough projects can be hard, but moving between them is much hay

I have following queries-
1)With me joining a project so late, can I expect a Variable Pay in March 2023?
2)The manager told me I have flexibility to choose 2-11 shift or work in morning as everyone is flexible here. What must I do officially to get that monthly shift allowance?

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
