Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

Anyone still in this bowl? Been 9 months since the last post! I’ll start- how are your firms’ O&G practices performing? Big 4 here... we have a pretty heavy bench.

Does anyone struggle with finding good randoms to spot you while bench pressing? I work out at a local park district and every time I’m working with a heavy load, my spotter will immediately cont.

Hi Fishes, I want one information. If a person serving notice period of 90 days, gets released from the project and comes to bench.
Do IBM decrease the notice period to 30 days for such employees?

Joined LTI in June in Citi bank account. But still no onboarding. Many people waiting for VDI. Manager said it's freeze from Citi side process is slow. Now they have started releasing people. It's easy to get another project on bench. Will LTI ask to resign?

Hi Fishes,

I have a doubt on HRA.
Let's say that EY GDS gives 2.5L as HRA. Can I utilise the whole amount or only a certain percentage for Tax Savings. Can some one help me on the Calculations

TIA

What are the designation levels in the major financial institutions? It's confusing because some consider VP and SVP more senior than a Director, and some have SVP one level lower than a Director like in Citi. If you know the levels of whichever org you work for, please comment on this post. For example in Standard Chartered:
it's Associate, Associate Director, Director, Executive Director, Managing Director (3 levels).

CSM or PSM 1?

Incredible flex or lack of street smarts? 🤔

Gosh i just posted on the wrong bowl how do i undo or move to this bowl? 😣☹️

Hello fellow olds!! I was just at a work dinner and HH. Three drinks and food and weeeee! Damn. Such a lightweight now! 😂 Hope you all are enjoying the night. 😘

Hey hey you old fogies 😂

It’s Thursday night. That means it’s “wine confession” time for me. 😂 AMA?

Has anyone noticed a weird change in the original confession bowl lately? A lot of new people posting some really ✨interesting✨ takes and just being kind of creepy?

Bowl is getting awfully quiet…must be past 8pm Zzzzzz

Everytime I see this bowl name. I read it as wife confessions and keep getting scared.

What you guys are planning for the long weekend?

Wise confessions bowl turned out to be a feel good bowl. ♥️♥️

Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.

I just discovered that scheduling a call for 7 am the morning after a boozy team event is the best way to get easy agreement and consensus. No debating for the sake of debating when everyone is sleepy! 😂

How's everyone's back and knees doing

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

What happened to all my badges?

Hi! Hows the new wk going??? Anything exciting?

I'm actually happily married with a stable, normal life now, but I like lurking in the confessions bowl because I love all the messy drama.

How to keep this bowl rolling?
