A client called us to an in person kick off meeting and sent a zoom link for those who cannot go. On the understanding that the partner is going and that he sent us an email saying that those who want to join him are welcome, should I go to the in-person meeting? What should I answer? I can but I don't think it is necessary.

Why are you asking us? The client and the partner have scheduled it in person and are going, being in person is clearly important to them. Do you genuinely think that it matters whether you think it's necessary and whether fishies agree with you or the partner? If you care about impressing the partner/client - you should go. If you don't, you should not go. To me it's that simple. I'd say don't let anybody's impression convince you that "it's fine" or "consequenceless" to do whatever you are leaning towards doing.

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

Any tips for building a client base from scratch? I’m a 4th year associate at a firm of 12 attorneys. I practice in business, compliance, and real estate (primarily on partners’ files) and don’t litigate. Most of the partners’ clients are wealthy friends or friends of friends (not my circle). Associates are not referred business, even cold calls, and so far “networking” events like Chamber of Commerce luncheons have been a bust. I equate a book to autonomy and career choice and pressure is on.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before.
