Dear forum,
Thinking on joining both processes and wanted to check if you have any colour on how do they compare the teams - are the hours / WLB / salary similar?
Given I am working in a sweatshop I may not be able to run both processes in parallel, therefore wanted to get some advice on which one to prioritise
Thanks!

I would prioritise CVC. Both are extreme sweatshops, but CVC's performance has been better and the overall platform is on a better trajectory.
