Currently an analyst-level consultant working with a client that has an investment banking division. Since I have access to internal systems, could I reach out to bankers for networking from within using those systems? Or would that be too aggressive? lol

Why bother just look ppl on LinkedIn and dm them there as a friendly “hi I also work ___ would love to meet you and have a coffee chat sometime to learn more about your background” only super busy ppl or douchebags say no to that.

I agree with analyst 1. If you have access why not just write down names and look up on LinkedIn and connect that way. Don’t get fired by doing your method lol

I believe this is a bit aggressive, some might like it, and some might become hostile. So my advice is only to do this if you’re sure of a positive response.

I work on a team that is 95% H1b (it’s really just me and 1 other on a team that’s 20+). The client has a few topics that are restricted to US citizens on US soil only.

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in.

I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
