I’m planning on requesting my raise before my anniversary (in December). Any advice as to how to approach the conversation with my boss?

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.

Underrated consulting skill imo: strategic procrastination. Half the time my client makes a request or wants a change made, three days later they decide against it. Throwing significant time at anything before determining if it is really needed has been one of the most frustrating wastes of my time and clients’ because it replaces the more important things I could’ve been doing instead.

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep.

Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.
