Has anyone ever had the conflicting feeling of wanting to do a bad job to not stay on for a future phase (1yr) of a project? I know it's a terrible idea but I just feel like there's no other way out

Theres usually a happy medium: "realize I have a lot of client knowledge/ rapport, interests lie elsewhere, can we consider a transition in a few weeks/ months while we line up someone else?"

What about having an open conversation with your project manager and coach? Usually they try to keep you happy if you make your preferences known

I've done it. Hurts your perception and year end but it will get you off doing that kind of work.

Agree with A1, just make sure the replacement is doing well and impresses the client. I've seen clients get cold feet with new resources and force project managers hands in keeping the old ones. A smooth transition is something that can look good for you at year end.

Good points. I worry that I have too much legacy knowledge for them to want me to leave, was one of the few that wasn't asked to leave after phase first phase and am already project crutch. Just don't know how to doing to engagement leadership that I want to leave when I've been doing well and the rest of them are in the thick of it too

It's called fucking client management!!! Not yelling at you Op just venting. good leadership can manage transitions....

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?
