I feel completely lost at work. I started at a new company 1 month ago and got put on a client that’s just as confused as I am. I’m only associate level (with a little experience from my last firm) but I feel like I’m “in charge” of this audit. I feel like nothing on the audit has been done and I’m soooo nervous for manager review. Wtf do I do?! I’m so overwhelmed.

I’m on a long term project in the middle of no-where with not great food options-is it fine to expense food at Target? Will a manager view it oddly when doing the B2A? Not trying to do anything shady

I am on client rn with 0 OT but am scheduled for an overnight inventory for a large client Wednesday night. Combined, I’ll be way over 10 hours for the day, but not individually for either client. Can I still expense dinner? If so, to which client?

Hi Fishes,
What should be the salary for Manager / Sr Manager having 14+ yoe in project/product service operations? I am at 32 lpa which I think is quite low having worked with top consulting firms for close to 12 years.

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Any tips for helping to get operations work recognized? I’m officially in ops but cover programs, business, and catch-all organizational needs. In the last year we rebranded and scaled 500% (staff, program offerings, funding) and I was the sole employee covering organizational ops at 100% during that time. When I proposed a title and compensation review, I was told I didn’t achieve enough impact. Unfortunately skills in project management and operations are not weighed heavily in comp reviews.

Currently assigned to a client and due to roll off Nov 30th. Spoke with my LM today who said they’re keen to extend and gave positive feedback but wary of signing back on as the east option. For context I’m an experienced consultant hire from April this year and looking to start building my case for Associate Manager.

Anyone else feel like it’s impossible to explain our jobs to friends?

Of course I’ll do my best to prioritize her plans but it makes me feel like a bad friend and mentally exhausted to always try to explain big law. (Disclaimer: I’m decent at drawing work life boundaries when possible)

Is anyone else concerned about the direction the automotive world is heading in, and the overall bigger impact to society when no one can afford to own/have a car? I feel like there’s a perfect storm brewing and with the help of Covid and chip shortages and senseless forced adoption of EVs, in a few years common ppl won’t be able to afford a car and even those in upper income classes will be hard pressed. And when people can’t travel freely on their own, that will have downstream FX on society
