It’s a very cost sensitive firm. They will squeeze out a lot from you with less pay unless you are politically connected in the firm. After the merger there has been reduced benefits more charge hour requirement along with increased sale goals. For last few years, I feel like senior managers now get worst treatment than new staff from hr and leadership. Internal office politics will likely prohibit firm growth and efficiency.

Depends on where you are located. In my BU there are many partners within a year or two of retirement, so there are some large books up for grabs and they are looking to promote SMs to partner. Issue is there is a shortage of SMs and basically no managers to move up either. But sounds like sticking around could pay off.

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌

Telco PMs, how do you call that type of project in which you manage the End-To-End deployment? I mean from planning the electric connections for a servers rack, engineering the network, the cabling and devices installation, setting up the link (and everything in between)?
