Anyone restart as a Senior Consultant and level down to gain real skills? I’m essentially just got promoted to Consulting Manager (PMO Consultant) but I hate cat-herding and feel like I always really liked the technical side of things. People keep saying I’m good at PMO, but it’s a common skillset.

Honestly this is why i dont want to get promoted to Manager. I hate cat herding and sales is something I'm not interested in + added responsibility. I have adhd and just prefer to do my technical work plus the novelty of new projects keeps me engaged. I do pretty well on projects but don't want to lose the technical delivery piece of it

I am a personal injury defense attorney and I’ve never done plaintiff’s work. I have a case where I suspect the plaintiff is malingering and exaggerating his injuries. The plaintiffs attorney has sent me multiple demands for $3 million dollars and basically begged me to respond with some offer. I’ve told him the truth - my client has no interest in trying to settle if his demand remains about twenty times higher than the actual worst case (for us) jury verdict. More in comments...

I am the junior attorney at a small PI firm (5 lawyers). I love my job and my firm, the partners, and my colleagues.

I have another opportunity that is important to me, so I'm planning to step away.

I have maybe 10-15 lit cases that I'm "responsible" for. Some of them are tar babies that I know the partners and my colleagues would hate taking over, but I don't think I'm willing to wait for resolution on them either. Thoughts?

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
