Hi All,
I recently started working as Associate Project Manager in CBRE project management in New York. I am paid $80,000 plus bonus. I think I am paid less, but just wanted to check with the group here on what you all think.
I have 4 years of experience, Masters in civil engineering.

How should I answer H1B stamping interview question related to if we work for a client ? I know we should say we work full time for Deloitte, but wondering what others experiences have been and how best to wordsmith it. Thanks in Advance

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

Im 21, recently got a project manager job in a big media group, I still have about one year to do in my degree. Where would you recommend I take my career next, what would be the logical next jobs I could explore in that field?

I have come for RTO after withdrawing resignation only to hear from the security guard that I'm TERMINATED from client end! I have not received a single mail on it. Rather, Accenture retained me for the same client's project. My AVP, Manager, HR all aware. They are telling I'm on Accenture payroll. I got a re on-boarding email from client end today too. What's going on?

I’m an Associate XD and I feel like whenever I give input on projects it’s mostly received with slight skepticism from the management supervisor. Is this the norm when you’re a junior on a project?

How are people feeling about going back on site. My client is recommending 3days a week from October. Honestly don't think I'd like to considering I don't need to be onsite.
