Unfortunately, I’m at another company that says they don’t allow poaching because of how much they put into associates, but also won’t approve certification costs unless absolutely necessary.

Yeah make sure you understand your relationship. Are you actually friends or friendly? On my last project, I was very good friends with my client. The things we did and talked about would be frowned upon or escalated if it got out. But I understood our relationship so I could be open.

All that I discussed

Well, this client associate was invited to my wedding. He has told other client associates to back off when they tried testing me too much and always advocates for where I’d make the most impact.

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
