Definitely feels like contractors are being asked to do more with less lately. Scope creep seems like the new normal and I’m trying to figure out how to protect my sanity (and my weekends) without looking like I’m not a “team player.” How do you push back respectfully when the contract clearly didn’t include half of what’s being asked?

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm? Like is there a perception of us being a step down or ancillary to the big leagues of NYC or not?

Be brutally honest.
