Has anyone partnered with someone on client work and then had them bail part way through? How did you handle? I am a one person company...they are a fellow freelancer...the project was sold in as a two person job specifically with that other individual. Let’s say that they left because a full-time job came up they really wanted and had to start right away. What would you do if you were me — both about the client and the freelancer?

Anyone know how Morgan Stanley charges on an sma account? I have a client with an account there and he’s not sure if the advisors fee is all inclusive or not.

Why is it so goddamn hard to get a CI/CD pipeline set up? I’m on a project where they’ve chosen to manually handle all aspects of their deployment process. It can take up to a week for us to deploy. 🤯

Do you all have this expressive person who's always talking on a project ?

Hi guys,

I need some advice, I’ve been in a newly created role within a pharma agency for about three months now and it is not going too well. There is little to no structure or direction from senior leadership, no access to client data, little to no billable work. Worst of all, no project is related to what I have been hired to do.

I would like to move on with a different agency asap, but I’m not sure how to proceed with such a short time here.

I'm being deployed on project which has JAVA ANGULAR MONGODB AZURE as Tech stack . Is growth good in this technology for future growth in perspective of opportunities and hikes? What will be available package for 2YOE with this tech stack? Mindtree

Hello 👋 I'm seeking input on some interview questions for a Sr. Project Manager role in healthcare IT that you had wished you had prepared more for. I've gone onto Google but curious what you all have encountered. I've not had a formal PM career but have transferable skills, enough so that I made it to my 2nd round of interviews. It will be with PMs and IT leaders.
Thank you and have a great day!

Continually shocked by those who put their jobs above their families and their life outside of the office. Working for a Manager who’s sole purpose in life seems to be working at the firm and expects/looks down upon those who don’t. I get it- her choice, but does anyone ever have the urge to tell someone that an audit, project, etc, won’t matter when you’re on your death bed?? How do you all stay true to your values when closely working with people who only value work and expect that of you too?

A client just left me. He brought up fiduciary standard and cost a week ago, met with him and I thought he was cool after we talked but I guess not. Heart breaker. This career choice stings at times.

One of my partners asked me to start "pushing things down" to our paralegal to save on legal fees for our client....but I don't think he knows that our paralegal's billing rate is higher than mine (2nd year, and she's been here for like 30 years).

So, a spot I made (concept to completion) got shelved due to COVID forcing the client’s marketing plan to change. During that time, my partner and I were laid off. Recently, the spot aired, but the agency credits a different team for the work – me, my parter, and my CDs aren’t listed. Do I ask the agency to correct it? Just throw it in my book with explanation? Just take the L and chalk it up to that being how the industry is?

I am on an internal IT audit project. The manager in charge and the director have no IT OR Audit experience. I’ve done both internal and external audits. They both said not to rely on audit standards when discussing gaps with the client. How do you do this? Serious question

PE case study - I have 4 days to complete. Was given two CIMs to choose from and making investment recommendation. For modelling, are they expecting me to simply use the CIM forecast for LBO analysis? Or should I be doing more work like coming up with drivers that get to the CIM numbers as a base case with ability to flex downside / upside cases? Assuming the former but want to make sure I’m not missing the mark here (no guidance provided on this).

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
