Anyone have a manager who doesn’t seem to care what’s going on? I’m acting senior on a big project and I feel like every time I try to update the manager or ask questions, he shows no interest. (Cont)

as k him how does he want to keep informed going forward. Maybe your update is too frequent and the content you are telling him is not something he really care about.

Perhaps he is very busy on other projects and trusts you with the one you are working on. I would be more concerned if a) he takes credit for your work or b) blames you when things go wrong as a result of his lack of review....which you may feel is already the case

I appreciate that he trusts me to get the project done without his involvement, but how do I keep myself motivated when it feels like the person managing the revenue doesn’t even care about it getting done?

Get over it. You’ll see more and more of this as you move up and will probably do the same at some point when you are a manager. How do you know for sure he doesn’t care? Maybe that’s just your perception

This happened to me recently. Management above me didn’t care what I was doing and didn’t care to get status updates (which was fine by me, I liked the trust and not being micromanaged) but it ended up bad for that manager above me. In short, Managing Director level took notice and fired that person. So even if your manager doesn’t care, those above them are watching and taking note. I ended up getting promoted, so keep working hard and it will pay off.

I guarantee that one thing is not why the manager got fired. I’d bet the manager started backing off stuff cuz they were getting something else lined up. If ur not getting the support u need to get the work done you gotta raise ur hand. Otherwise recognize that all managers have different communication preferences. Just ask what we want and give us that.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience?

But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I’m trying to figure out what I’m worth. I’m a director / editor who works directly in-house at an agency. I’ve directed several (roughly one a month) broadcast spots in the last year for a national fast food client and I’ve also edited those spots among editing other random national spots in-between. The production budgets range from roughly 200k-500k per shoot depending on how many days it is. I get paid 75k yearly which is feeling pretty low when I do the math. Is that fair?
