Advice on balancing team personalities? My Acct. Dir. is extremely hot & cold. She’s upbeat/positive when client facing, but internally tends to be anxious or snippy. Leaves everyone tiptoeing around.

You might have tried this, but I like to get to know my team outside of work... ideally with a glass of wine or 3. Maybe there’s something she’s dealing with at home... maybe she’s just not personable and keep things separate. You won’t know unless you ask! And you’ll always get an A for effort. (If she is actually is a cold, unfriendly person in general, could you try to find out commonalities and bond over them?)

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

I’m sure this is not a unique situation, but would love y’all’s advice! I love my current agency and the work is easy and ngl it’s a big name and looks impressive on a resume. But, I’m currently being offered a new job at a small agency and the money is so so good, it would be a 60% raise and a title change. I’m so torn, I don’t want to risk what I currently have, but I’m so tempted… would you leave a good place for a ton of $$?
