IPG folks, What's the last day of work this year? I accepted a lower freelance rate because the gig was meant to go "'til end of the year." But received a contract that says 12.11 is the end date.

Should the question be what is end of year for the client you’re working on? Freelance frequently picks up over year end & holidays?

When I asked why the earlier finish date, they responded the agency will be closed the last two weeks of the year.

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?
