Business Manager usually works with the Producers on everything from estimate creation to issuing P.O.’s and paying invoices. Project Manager is usually attached to the creative dept. and works with all levels (producers, account peeps etc) to help manage creative teams, schedule and work flow on all projects they are assigned to

@OP, talk to your manager about the difference at Edelman... LB2 is right, but for a clearer delineation: BMs are finance and PMs are account/creative/keeping things moving

Are you talking about a project manager and a business manager?

There’s many roles within PM/Production/Business Management that overlaps. It really depends where you work. How big the place is. And how many more billable hours you want to sell into clients

they are both part of finance

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

I was part of Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.
The HR relationship manager was Deepa Vishwanathan. I resigned in May two years back and last working day was in Aug after serving three months notice.
However, due to error on human resource part they updated record as last working date in May. So whenever I was applying for any position there was mismatch in last working day mentioned in my resume and in human resource records with Kotak. Does it have impact on my profile not getting shortlisted?
