## Simulated Companies

Billet allows you to work on projects generated under simulated companies. The purpose of these companies is to give you the feel of working for an actual organization with their individual company cultures.&#x20;

Please do remember simulated companies are not real companies they exist only for the purposes of completing your projects, as most projects will require you to adhere to a simulated companies brand guidelines.&#x20;

We'll touch more on[ simulated companies](https://billethub.gitbook.io/billet-knowledge-hub/how-billet-works/simulated-companies) in another lesson.&#x20;

## Updating your profile

Through your dashboard you will be able to update your profile picture and email address, manage your subscriptions. Simply click on your name on your dashboard to have access to your profile settings.&#x20;

We do not recommend changing your First Name and Last Name as these need to be accurate for the recommendation letter you will receive on completion of a project.

## Discord Community

[The discord community](https://discord.gg/juQm6PRR) is a crucial part of completing your projects.
