Because making decks are very important things.

A deck is something you write to give people information. Decks are for important things. A deck can bring people together, a deck can be a call to arms. A manifesto, a poem. A deck.....can change the world.

A crutch is a tool that when used appropriately allows the lame to walk. Your communication tools are no different. Used appropriately, for their intended purposes, they can do a lot.

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep. My manager said that he will try for an onsite opportunity with other projects like the UK or europe as he doesn't have any onsite (US) opening in the current project. Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.

I'm holding an offer for 26LPA with 8.5 YOE with product based company.
