Not sure of the title, something along the lines of “Why we need a green new deal.” Also “Less is More.” I am a big fan of the Upstream podcast, lots of content on Green Capitalism and what sustainable solutions/systems may look like!

Not sure I’ve seen books given it’s such a new topic, but for the hard-to-abate sectors the reports by the Mission Possible Partnership are authoritative.

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.

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

which is better EY India or EY GDS ? Want to know in terms of hike , variable bonus, perks and benefits. Not bothered about client exposure and all.

What software do you use? Currently using Float, so many options out there. Would love one where wed’d only have to pay for the RM team but not creative team as we mainly need it just or our team.
