I'm currently a consultant on a two person project (just me and an SM). While it's been an opportunity to stand out, the SM hasn't been diligent in reviewing any of my work. Any advice on managing up?

Why does your work need reviewing? You mean guidance or thought partnership? No one is there to review your work

Fair point. I've received minimal guidance, but sometimes basic QAQC from a second pair of eyes is necessary before sending something to a client. In the past month one or two basic editing mistakes have slipped through. I obviously bear the blame but should that really be 100% on me?

Send it to a friend at the firm.... I get it, but they are a SM, they have a lot going on.

The reality is, as a SM, I’m counting on you to do the work and ask me about hard things. That’s what the people above me ask of me

Yeah if I work directly with a consultant I expect them to get it right themselves. If I have to do detailed content review it’s not a sign of trust. If you do need input on something flag that thing but you’re accountable for the deliverable

Hi all,

Please suggest.
I've 3 yoe in techno-functional domain.
I wish to go into technical (development) profile now, but not as a fresher. I want to continue with 3 yoe.
But the issue is, I have no (dev) project to show in interview as an 3 yoe person.

I've learned Java, springboot, restfulAPIs, kafka, but still hesitant to go for interviews as I do not have projects to discuss.

I shall be very thankful to you if you help me here.
How/where can i go to make projects now to justify 3yoe?
