Freelance Project Opportunities in Gulf region

Been a project manager for 4 years. Been at my current role for almost 2 years at an e-commerce company. Asked for a raise after absorbing my manager’s role and 2 more teams when she left a year ago. With this I also got left with a major project for the company and launched it successfully just recently. They want me to continue doing both jobs. I was making $73k and asked for $105k. What are people’s thoughts on this?

So… I am working on a project with outside consultants that wraps up this week. I’m feeling some kind of “vibe” with one of the male consultants and I am wondering how to figure out if I am imagining things or whether there is actually something there. He lives is another state and it doesn’t seem likely our paths will cross again.

If anyone is hiring in Canada please kindly give my partner a chance. The wait, dilemma and uncertainty is taking a very big toll from us.
-He got almost 5 years of project management, bid management and proposal management experience for a construction consultant company.
-He got experience in Primavera, got excellent statistical analysis skill, can use python for constructing ML models,
- He is proficient in RFP,RFI,RFQ for construction projects as he got BSc in Civil Engineering and MBA. 🙏🙏

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

I have been on an SAP Tech Upgrade Project for 7 plus months and I have been miserable. Life isn’t where it should be. Getting emails, calls, and what not over weekends is just upsetting. I am done.

Hi all. I started a new role with a company I’ve been with for 2 years. The role is very much an SME role and can be quite boring sometimes. When hired I was told that this role would do a lot of different projects and skys the limit but after 7 months, I’ve been doing 1 project and when asking about role expansion essentially told to stay in my lane. My first thought was performance issues but manager confirmed not that. It’s getting really boring and need more engagement. What should I do?

Hey Guys,

How to raise VOC with client

TIA

Do sales expectations vary between strategy focused vs implementation focused consulting practices?

Context: in my previous gig I focused on strategy & I didn’t feel like Ms were being pushed to make sales all the time, but I was further away from that level. In my current (staff aug) gig, leaders seem to focus less on assessing whether the client really needs us/ how we can help, and more on making a sale. Is this difference a result of the type of work each team sells?

Hello Folks , Recently got laid off. Any leads for Project Manager roles or any project management roles will be appreciated. I have overall 7 years experience in IT project management. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hello all, I joined Accenture Operations as a fresher in May 2021 and i think I'm not learning anything. I'm just stuck in that project (My teammates who are working in the same project feels the same). I tried Internal Job Portal as well to switch internally but they choose their favourites for roles. Even my TL is facing the same. I want to switch my career and looking for an entry level PM or Trust & Safety roles. Any leads would be a great help for me to start again. Yoe : 18 Months

Any good resources for making DnA related decks, good terminology to use, etc? On my first project where I’ll need to sell and be “the talker” as opposed to just coding and making dashboards for specific deliverables.

Hi Fishes,

I am a tester at level 10, working in a US project. We have our agile meetings in US timings.But the thing which annoys me the most is we work in whole day and then we sometimes have to attend the meetings till 9:30 pm IST at night.We are told to login late next day but still my productivity falls after 8:30 pm.I feel that attending these EST meetings is the duty of the onsite lead. My onsite lead expects us to attend those meetings till 9:30 pm.Kindly suggest.What should I be doing

Which companies allow you to logoff by max 8pm IST.

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.
