Currently just started on an engagement (Day 2) and I immediately feel unaligned to the work and do not feel driven or the passion as it does not align with my aspirations and growth expectations as a consultant. I have been on multiple projects prior to this one and this is the first time I've felt this way. Is it alright to ask for a switch to another project or is it too late since I have already accepted it. Still have at least 2 months to go.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

There’s an opportunity to step up into the role of Director of Product, but I’ve only got 2.5 years of experience and am already being paid below average by like 15%. I’ve accepted this because A. My company has historically underpaid people but I still like the people and B. My lack of experience. I think a promotion would come with a raise, but the percentage difference would most likely only grow and I’m not sure that would be ok with the responsibilities I’d be stepping into. Any advice?

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.

But I am confused between this.

Currently I am a Java developer.

I’ve been approached by a Deloitte recruiter for either of those two groups and I’m definitely interested if it means at least a 10-15% pay bump. My main question is about the work life balance. For AAS it was pretty great, didn’t work late much and when I did it was never past 8. FDD was a bit more chaotic.
