How do you fish feel about a role on a project wherein you solely report to a client manager? Sounds like staff aug to me

It’s staff aug. But I’ve found that as long as there is a firm end date (i.e., you don’t get stuck there forever) you can develop close relationships with the people there. That helps you sell work later on, which is beneficial if you’re trying to make partner. If you’re not, It also increases the likelihood that they try to poach you. With that said, though, they definitely are not the cool or fun engagements.

Hey, marketers! I'm just curious: have you ever had a client ask you to do something totally out of left field? Something that made absolutely no sense and didn't make any money for the company?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
