If client knows and likes you, explain the kind of work you want to be working on and enlist them in the solution. I’ve done this and ended up turning a staff aug role into a team project where I co created and sold the work to the client. No one knows more about what they need than you do, and a good client is like gold. YMMV.

Lol. Didn’t even realise OP was EY. I was just taking the p*ss. Man (waffle), that will never get old.

I have little control at the end of the day , but so far the relationship has been great and client asked my interest about the extension first before speaking to the partner. I haven't talked to the partner yet. Trying to use the client to manage upward and convince them to perhaps find a replacement...

Go on PTO

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
