I don’t have a new job, big time raise or better project

But I lost 20 lbs in one year (I know it’s not amazing ) , and that feels the best!

I have a client in Barbados who needs a Family Law Specialist in New York, can you give me any recommendations?

Trying to think ahead. What is the best holiday gift you’ve gotten or could get from your manager? I’m looking for ideas other than alcohol, pay raise/bonus, extra time off. I’ve got those covered. Looking for actual ideas that would make my staff happy/special. Thanks in advance!

Hi fish. I’m a first year analyst who’s only been on big team projects. And when I say big, I mean like 30+ firm practitioners.

I’m starting on a project where I’m the only resource along with a senior manager. Any advice on how to succeed in this environment? I’m really nervous. TIA.

I’m up for a promotion to manager 7/1, but looking to get out immediately after. What salary should I expect? Is it reasonable to target $125k-$150k? Is it worth it to stay until 7/1 if I get an offer now in this range and it has the title of manager?

Anyone have attorneys working for their startup in non attorney roles. If so what positions should I be looking at. Not enjoying the practice of law but also have no experience with startups. Would I need to learn to code to get a job in say project management?

I want to send my boss a hand written thank you note, but my firm is 100% remote. I happen to have her address from a past project. Should I sent it or is that too weird?

Could use some help with an awkward dynamic.

My Dept has been tapped to help another dept promote a DEI study. The client dept has hired a consultant in this area. The challenges I see with this consultant's work style:

-dominating conversations
-micromanaging things outside her area
-steering things toward her own promotion over our company's agenda
-people in my dept (mostly white) are visibly uncomfortable and reluctant to interrupt or contradict her (black woman)

Hi all I have cleared my PDM on 26 Feb in IBM. also submitted my BGV and questionnaire related to project in IBM. Please some tell me by when I can expect my offer letter from IBM?
@IBM

My partner is great and supporting … but he’s completely unpredictable

He will tell clients we can deliver in ridiculous time frames that are much much sooner than the client will need and it’s always a tonne of work. But the thing that’s getting me is that we have a massive cross-border matter for a client with a tonne at stake. We know how much it will cost cos we’ve just done something similar and instead he offered it to them for 50k a month. We have 10k left and we’re a week into the month

How do I know if I will enjoy doing consulting coming straight out of college? I have a lot of mixed feelings about it currently from everything I have read and heard online. Getting staffed on a project that I don't know how to do sounds like a nightmare. My understanding is that new hires are less likely to be fired in their first year as they get time to figure things out?

Putting out feelers: Does anyone have a reco for a GREAT strategist? This need would be for general healthcare (not pharma) and previous experience with med-tech devices would be ideal. (Can be someone who is freelance or already full time; the project would be ongoing and happen in mini-spurts every few months). Thank you in advance.

Writers, do you have your work on a password-protected site or just use a PDF? Someone at my agency just got fired because he had client work posted on his site for anyone to see (cont.)

Got my promotion this year but it was one year late because changed groups. Was promised the promotion last year on time but was told the window had passed so had to wait. Found out (TBC)

Is there a way to rent a car and use it for 2 different client visits and expense a single day to each one? Any experience with Avis or Hertz generating 2 receipts/invoices for the same rental?

Weirdest place you’ve ever napped while on a project? Very tempted to duck into a client conference room and put my head down for like 30 min

I work for a really difficult client in a horribly managed project... client and I have same aged kids I’m in early 30s and he’s in his 50s. I too off two days, and let him know why... internal cont

So I’m the only female, aside from a rarely-present senior manager, in an audit room for a 9/30 busy season client. Over the past two weeks I’ve heard no less than five sexist comments,

Any anyone from Booz Allen, Oliver Wyman, and Ali’s partners reach out. Need a contact in the Chicagoland area for a current client RFP…

One of my friends got married and made his last name hyphenated with his wife's. Anyone else think he just got neutered? I'm all about equality, but some traditions aren't bad to keep around.

Someone died on the inbound flight and now my red eye is delayed. God damn it.

How do new Managers deal with SMs treating them as SCs/Cs. It's not about dignity of labor or ego, just curious how do start having the people above start treating you like you're a M/SM?

TFW you realize that you have wasted way too much time on both Fish Bowl and Facebook...
