Hi,
I got a DUI charge but currently I am fighting it in court, not convicted yet. I am in Ontario, Canada. Has anyone with a DUI got a job offer in a bank and cleared their bgv without any issues. I am a software engineer. Don't have to drive as part of my job duties. I am looking if anyone who has DUI was able clear BGVs or faced issues. Please share your experiences. Thanks in advance
Does the bgv done by the second job(contract) hint the first employee that I might be OE.

Please advice and help. Thanks.

I am looking for contract job in software testing. I am already working a FTE software testing job in a bank. That salary is not enough for my expenses and a commitment that I have now. How do I break through and get a contract role in testing, I am ok with getting at least 2k a month( can spend 3 to 4 hrs a day in my own schedule) which will help me. Those of you doing a c2c along with a FTE, please help. How were you able to achieve this?
Rental car was impounded when I was DUI. I foolishly informed the insurance about it and now they would not cover my rental cost for 1 week. Should I have dealt with this directly with the rental company? So that I would have paid only tow, impound and storage and the rent would have been paid by the Insurance company. Did I make a mistake? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Switch from Senior SDET to Full-Stack Developer — worth a pay cut?
I have around 15 years of experience in QA/SDET and currently work at a Canadian bank. I feel like I’ve hit a ceiling in terms of growth and promotion within QA, so I’m considering moving into a full-stack development role to continue learning and expanding my career.
However, since I don’t yet have strong development experience at that level, I wouldn’t be able to move in as a Senior Developer. My company is open to transitioning me into a Software Developer role, but it would come with a level downgrade and a pay cut.
Has anyone made a similar transition? Was it worth taking a step back in title and compensation for long-term growth?
I have 15 years in QA background. I work in a Canadian bank and I feel there is no room for promotion or growth in QA. So I plan to move to development at least I would have some learning. But I can't move as a Senior developer as I lack those skills. They are ready to take me a Software developer with a pay cut, level down obviously. Is it worth it?
