I’m an artist so commissioned drawings and paintings, illustrated a book. On the STEM side, contract work for data scraping/analytics (in a non competitive industry) which is very lucrative bc ppl who can’t do it themselves think it’s magic and often can’t articulate their project needs well enough to effectively outsource to a formal firm. I also have some consultant friends who have drop shipping shops marketed on IG or amazon

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them. My probation period is going to end soon. Should I inform my Luxoft manager and tell him to change my project right now ? Or shall I wait for him to end my probation period ?
