Completed first project. Client seems happy. PM provides very little positive feedback saying i need to improve on a lot. Thoughts?

Hey, marketers! I'm just curious: have you ever had a client ask you to do something totally out of left field? Something that made absolutely no sense and didn't make any money for the company?

I'm a Sr. Project Manager and for the next step in my career track, which do you think is better to go for: a Program Manager or a Director of Project Management? I'm based in Atlanta. All thoughts are welcomed.

1 more day on this project, I cannot stand the manager. Tomorrow we rejoice!

First day on a project in Seattle. Things to do? Places to see? People to meet?

get the PM certificate after

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

My title was software project manager but my actual work is something like: 20% project management; 80% product owner/ scrum master in several teams in my previous job. Was this common? I felt like I can’t focus if I need to wear multiple hats and all teams were depending on me. Being the only female in a software engineering department with 15+ male colleagues I feel sometimes quite lonely. Willing to join a firm and build a diversify and inclusive team

Anyone here worked on a post merger integration project? Experience there?

Hi All
I got recently hired at Coforge for HSBC account. I am a Java Developer (Spring, Spring boot, Micro services). Could someone please share their experience working with HSBC client. How is the work, work life balance and learning experience?
It would also be very helpful if someone details the tech stack from a Java developer perspective.
Thanks in advance.

Just here to vent that I feel severely disadvantaged for being a POC with partnership aspirations my firm. I've seen much younger white associates in my practice group get to go on client pitches, and as an nearly 7th year associate, I haven't been invited to go on a single one (even after voicing concerns about this to the partners in my group). I do great work, bill a lot of hours, and think I have a solid reputation but it's hard not to read the writing on the wall here. :(

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.

Does anyone in the NYC area use the T-mobile 5G home internet? Optimum has a monopoly on my area and they are disgusting with their customer service and billing practices. I need to go NOW! How is the T-Mobile home internet service? I work from home and also stream a lot (Netflix, Hulu etc)

What inspired you to join this industry?

Anyone rent out their car on Turo? I have an 08 Honda Accord in good condition, low mileage (salvaged so resale value is affected). I’ve moved to nyc and my car is just sitting at my parents’ home in Nova collecting dust. Wondering if you had a positive experience? How much effort involved? Would it be hard to manage from nyc?

I’m tired of planners telling me “that’s not an insight,” yet none can explain to me what a “real” insight is.

So can someone clear this up for me once and for all? What is an insight?

Looking for guidance. I’ve been passively applying to Director roles since January, and actively for 2 weeks now. I’ve gotten one call for a position I didn’t apply to and no other response. Is there something I should be doing to get more traction?

For context, I was hired as a site GM. Then 8 months later made a regional. In January I was placed in a Director capacity pending position approval. The position has been postponed a year tentatively but I’ve been asked to continue in unofficial

Anyone here looking for an accounting manager in industry? I have five years of experience including regional firm, Big 4, and industry. Recently, I moved into consulting but it’s a bit uncertain with trying to get clients, plus I’m ready for management. Looking mainly for a small private or public company in retail, media, advertising, publishing. Thank you! I’m in Dallas, but open for remote work!

I am very open about my mental illness (depression+anxiety) and happy to say it doesn’t seem to have negatively impacted my coworkers perceptions of me at all. So grateful I did! Any Qs I can answer?

Hi bowlers,

I've been at my job for 1 year, and partner up with a lot of different stakeholders. My manager doesn't give me any support and guidance.

For the last 6 months, some senior stakeholders demand solutions relentlessly and will make rude/sarcastic comments about me in large meetings.

I thought I'd just suck it up and take it in my stride, but it's really impacted me mentally. My manager is friends with them, and I know will not help.
Should I quit or am I thin skinned?

Why are so many people cruel in consulting? It seems to all be elbow work and politics. I feel so disrespected most of the time.

Working remotely. Can’t focus or get out of bed in the morning. On useless BD waiting to get into bschool so I can quit but nothing feels worth it.

I got fed up with tax. The last few years, I noticed that I lost my belief/desire for this career due to the absurdity of it. The pandemic has just shown there's no need to make our lives easier. Government can pass massive and sudden reg changes and we should all be happy to play catch up in an abnormally stressful and agitated environment. Firms will be happy to continue working us to death as if we were just cogs in a machine.

Please...Wake me up when this all ends.

I just want to come here and say that I’m in a completely different mental space than I was a year ago and it feels wonderful. I’m not 100% “healed” but I’m feeling 10x better than I was last year. It sucked so badly, but I did the work to get over someone who completely broke me, and I feel content being on my own without feeling like I need a man to make me happy. I still have much more work to do, but I’m just really proud of myself for how far I’ve come. Also, meds help

How do you find a therapist? I’ve never done this before, and all the acronyms and different licenses are super confusing. What kind of provider should I be searching for?

I'm going through kind of a rough patch in my life right now. I'm not thrilled with my job - feel like I'm not growing and being challenged the way I want to and not contributing meaningfully. (Cont)

I feel like there are days where I have control on my anxiety and then other days it just takes over. I’m trying my best to not let it get to me…idk if it’s because of my BC but I’ve been trying to meditate, journal and practice breathing exercises but it’s been tough.

This life is too much.

Recently left consulting and moved to a high growth mid-sized startup. I’m struggling to get acclimated to the culture and my anxiety has gone up. Has anyone else experienced this before, any suggestions?

How I sometimes wish I could cry and just finally be able to let it all out.

Not sure if it’s meds or a subconscious emotional suppression + stigma associated with men crying, but man! It’s been a long time since I cried, and it gets really frustrating at times because I want to cry but just am not able to.

Working with a therapist too but still not able to open up on this front, so to speak.

My biggest fear is that all the energy, effort, caring, fights, struggles, and work I have put into all my life, that I will end up having accomplished nothing or real value and will be alone.

Then I look around and realize im already there.

Anyone divorced with their ex even though they still care about them? Im currently in the process because our values and personalities always cause arguments to the point it becomes toxic and unhealthy. I felt it was better for the long term, but can’t help but feel immense guilt for killing a marriage.

Work is slow , I’m over sleeping 💤 so I’m just need get on a better schedule ?

I am so unhappy and I dont know what to do. It’s difficult to keep pretending to be happy at work and in my relationships
