Ever get the feeling that your project manager is seriously out to get you fired even though you get great reviews from client? Any advice?

Yes and it's miserable. Keep in good communication with your admin team and document EVERYTHING. Then jump to a new project as soon as you can.

I'm in a similar situation and fortunately have leadership who knows exactly what's happening and supports me but for some reason has decided to keep her in place despite how miserable she is making everyone. This is why people leave.

This happens so often...mostly perpetuated by female managers smh

I'm convinced she has no friends based on how she is so obnoxious to everyone, including the client!! I feel like I'm in such a shitty position though because my last project ended due to a bad relationship with the PM, but he was from another firm. I don't want my management to think I'm the problem.

I've been there and it's never been with female managers but just simply inexperienced and incompetent mgrs that needs to pull CYA to protect themselves. Leadership have no clue these people will eventually screw them over as well since such mgrs have no loyalty and no integrity. Yes people leave when management continuously burns and betrays the knowledged, experienced, and hardworking people. The management will be left with more inexperienced while charging exorbitant fees to clients. I foresee such a group to either be dissolved or implode on itself. I've seen it happen to even half decent ones so this group is well on its way down the drain. Only a matter of time.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
