Want to know how to quickly annoy another lawyer who went in-house? Trying to aggressively pursue them as a client. A lawyer I know who I met a while back has come out of the woodwork to turn me into a client. I get it. I look like his next meal. But for heaven's sake, he needs to chill out. I'll reach out when I'm ready!

Tell him to take you out to some nice meals so you can talk over his proposals.

I know it’s annoying but have a few meals her and there and you may need him later! I think sometimes not knowing who to call is also annoying (maybe not as annoying as being preyed lol)

Godspeed!

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
