Has anyone registered DBAs for a client in all 50 states, or many states? It seems not worth it, given time and cost and the fact that some (most?) states don’t even have a centralized database and most contracts will have your full legal name on them anyway. For example, NY costs over $2,000 to register in all counties, Mass doesn’t have a centralized registry, so I’ve filed in Boston, just so clients can point to something. Am I crazy? Is this not a ridiculous endeavor?

Never understood DBAs. Seems easier to just change the entity name.

Your client can point to Boston here in MA, but DBAs are on a town-by-town basis so unless the client is in Boston, the response is going to be some variation of “nobody cares, you didn’t do it right.”

Yeah, it is. I’ve stood in line at town hall in several small towns here to do DBAs and it is horribly inefficient and generally a waste of time.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
