How do you get off a nightmare client at Big 4? I’d rather have 3-4 smaller clients to replace this big messy client. Or is it unavoidable and everyone has one? If so, how do you stay sane?

Make yourself redundant - delegate all your tasks and don’t take on any more. Once that is done you can let the team leader know that they won’t need/miss you as everything you did is now on someone else’s plate. Say you’re grateful for the learning opportunities and look forward to trying something new on another client

Speaking for experience, it was more or less impossible to roll off a messy client at EY.

At Deloitte, I simply didn’t roll my hours over for next year and filled the space up with newer clients from my senior managers. I’ll know whether this works or not in a few months.

I know what you mean!

First step is to talk to your coach, then PPMD. Come up with a reason you’d like to get experience on other clients (even better if you’ve drummed up demand for yourself on other projects/clients already) and be ready to discuss transition plan ideas. Still may not work, but increases your chances

Very tough. Especially if you are lead on the client.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

We just had a client request all of our mobile app designs in pdf so they can PRINT each screen and “view the screen in detail”
