Get things done and let the partner know before they have to ask for them. Budgeting, invoicing, looking up a technical question, whatever. If the partner feels things are moving without them having to check in, you'll generally get a lot more flexibility and free reign to run the team the way you like.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
