Yeah...I interview well, but I can’t close, I guess...and just feel like a loser...

At least they liked you enough to bring in for multiple rounds. Which means you’ll be top of mind when another role open up, which is always.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role.

Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
