Good for you - hopefully you are through a W2 service but even if not, you will still make far more after taxes than you did at PWC

Catalant, SpareHire, Talmix and some other entites, staffing agencies and services make this much easier than its ever been and your clients are paying far less.

What's your skill set? Is this post tax or pre tax?

Pre tax.. DD1 how do I contact you? Sorry new to FB

Pre tax?

second DD1 post a burner OP

I miss my independent pay.

My wife did this and I cover her benefits. Tends to be a bit of feast or famine at times but the feasts are great.

Damn..so tempting to do it since skilllset is still very niche.

Happy to help. Fb19781510@gmail.com

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card.

I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
