QUOTE(badguy93 @ Mar 8 2019, 04:00 PM) Hopefully I can reach your salary at your age, or even higher. lol Just my 2 cents:When they said work harder, it doesn't mean to OT. Work fast, work efficiently, finish stuff quickly. Yes boss will give you stuff to do when you are free, but instead of being free, take up the time to learn yourself, ask colleagues for documentation, past training ppt slide etc etc. Always yearn to learn new stuff, take note of everything your senior teach you, they don't like to explain twice or more. Don't burn the bridge, expand and maintain your network especially those that are leaving or left the company, that's your opportunity to switch company. For those that complain, tell them if want to look for jobs, come find you (assuming you have network). All the best to you!  |

QUOTE(coolguy99 @ Mar 10 2019, 10:09 AM) 2 years contract? don't you think that this is a risk if things don't work out? I just want to gain the experience & exposure in test automation. I should know how bad/good situation over there once i joined them.Please note that the contract doesn't mean bond -> you cannot resign until contract end. I still can resign with 1 month notice within the 2 years contract. IMO, 2 years is good enough even though they don't want to renew the contract (provided my performance is bad), otherwise they will renew the contract or offer the permanent conversion because the project there working on is really huge which required more than 2years to complete. |
