Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

What is a reasonable % of client revenue as an origination fee for an associate?
Context: corporate transactional associate at a South Florida boutique. Brought 3-4 clients this year and there is no written policy re associate origination fees (I might have misheard 50% of client revenue). Randomly received an email stating that I would be paid 10% of client revenue which is disappointing, especially considering that I handled all of these matters by myself. Should I show some resistance?

Hi, a potential client needs someone to look at the pages on their (archaic) website and restructure them ...lay them out better. So I assume take a close look at the content, reorganize, maybe even suggest gaps. They also think this person could also do the writing 🤔. Does such a role exist? Is this a Content designer or manager / writer? Something else? Two separate roles? I feel I could probably do all of this even if I'm just a copywriter. Thoughts? Thank you!!
