Hi everyone. I come from delivery/project program management background and am trying to pivot to data & analytics. I know I will never be as good as other technical folks in this field but I know I can more than manage delivery and PM work. Do Managers/SMs in D&A typically have a strong data background? Trying to see what kind of skills I should be focusing on to make this pivot. Thanks.

Depends on the firm. In Accenture you could be a generic d/l with a strong team. In consulting, you need to have background to lead the tean

What should I do?

Former client( filed a bar grievance that was dismissed, sent me a demand letter that an attorney responded to on my behalf, and filed a BBB complaint against my non-BBB law firm) has now pro se filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. Alleging misrepresentation, failure to file a lawsuit, and failure to advise during the process. I have phone logs, emails, and billing notes (all of which she has) that show she’s lying. Should I notify my malpractice carrier? All advice appreciated!

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
