A new Sr. Manager recently joined my team, and for whatever reason thinks that my initiative (where I am the official lead), wants me to check in with her constantly about it, as she thinks it’s part of her overarching role.

How can I as a Senior Consultant communicate that I don’t report to her, without souring the relationship?

You could ask her or your Partner/Director if she is part of the engagement now ?

Yup exactly this. Ask the overall engagement lead what the expectation is. I've had the same situation and the partner took care of things and spoke to the SM.

I'd clarify with your manager who is tasked with what, and whether this new manager is correct or incorrect in her assumption. Doing so will raise the red flag if she's not, but not look as if you're being territorial.

I currently work at an international law firm (4 years) and recently accepted an offer to go in house. The main attorney I support did not take the news well and was very angry with me. I feel awful and beaten down as I don’t want to upset anyone but the new role is fully remote and a nice pay bump. Looking for words of encouragement that I did the right thing. I feel awful 😞

I’m in interviews with a few companies. It was initially to see what was out there to negotiate my pay. Now, I’m seriously considering leaving my current company because of what one of the prospect companies represent: everything I want in a company/role. (Plus they reached out to me) AND they will pay me almost double what I’m currently making annually, put me in a position to advance (so many options!!!!!) and allow me to move/travel when I get ready to.

What should I do? Guidance please!!!

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
