Do you have directors make more than very tiny tweaks on a treatment before sharing with client if they are NOT the creative reco? Feels like requests for a full round of revisions, as if the director is on the clock already, have been increasing.

I try not to, but if I think the client has a decent shot of going their way I also don’t wanna withhold info that would make their treatment more buyable.

Yeah, I’d only do it if we need a solid backup and I need their vision to feel appealing.

I give them a one round shot to become the favorite. After that, I only really push the reco to make tweaks to ensure they’re sellable to the client.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?
