I was supposed to transition off my projects to another person/ switch, but apparently there was a separate conversation between the senior management and that person I would be internally supporting my old projects (aka now her projects). Meaning I get no credit for the work because my colleague is going to be the only client point of contact. But I’m the one doing all the work. Am I weird or am I actually being taken advantage of? Transition plan wasn’t even my choice. How do I approach this?

Sounds like you’ve been made an internal PM. How has your scope of work changed, aside from no longer being client facing?
When you say credit, do you mean with the client or recognition with your own company?

Client. Even though I’m an account

This sound fishy and has happened to me. It's unlikely deliberate but we are all human and make mistakes - sounds like a comms issue to me. What do you think?

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?
