Which one are you and what do you think?

funny

Project manager manages all aspects of the project from budget to timeline to resources. Engagement Manager does all that plus babysitting stakeholders and relationship building with client.

Same thing

PM also deals with client.... i think it’s the same thing. Some firms just call them differently to create a “differentiation”

In my experience project managers are more focused on a task and engagement managers are generally more broadly focused on, well, the engagement.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
