My manager consistently has me under a time crunch because she has too much going on to sit down and give me direction on my work. I know my work product isn't good and/or just plain incomplete under these circumstances and I'm not sure what to do :(

I had the same issue, I requested a roll off with full explanation and put the blame on them. If they can't lead, they shouldn't be in the role

Your manager's flaws are your flaws. I agree it's not ideal, but work on "managing up." I'm in that situation right now, and constantly working to keep him /our project on track. It will reflect well on you -- others in your practice likely know the issues with that person.

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
