Why do recruiters tell you a job opening is urgent? That adds 20% to my salary ask but does nothing for my interest level.

They think it will make you more interested if you just got laid off or hate where you are

That makes some sense. But, if I was laid off, I’d apply to any job that comes through, whether or not it was urgent. When I was unhappy ( like now, that’s why I’m here), I’d apply for any job that fixed the issues. I’m still asking 20% more than I would have before if they tell me it’s urgent. Their urgency is my opportunity, no? I might want the ‘69 Corvette Stingray, but I’ll lowball you if you tell me you need cash urgently to get the IRS off your back...

lol Aspirational goal!

So you know they’ll move quickly? Also so you can get a feel for the timeframe you would need to get your ducks in a row if it requires relocation, interviews occurring sooner rather than later, etc

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”?

Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF on 26th September. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!
