I’m currently on a freelance assignment through the fall with a possibility to extend/convert however I am being actively recruited for full time roles at other agencies. I love the company and team I work with. I have one verbal offer pending right now. Once I get written offer, I plan on giving my current agency a chance to match it but if not then I have to take full-time role. I haven’t had a vacation and need a break. Is one weeks notice fair since I’m not staff?

The new place should be able to give you proper breathing room if you need 3 weeks and if they won’t it’s a flag

Yes. One week as a freelancer is fine. More is generous/a nice parting gift, but I’m of the school that a long transition doesn’t necessarily mean a more responsible one.

I'd try to give 2. I'm assuming it's not explicitly stated in your agreement and/or offer to transition if your sched allows up to you end date and a little beyond. Leave a clean wake and give your PM successor as much if a hand as you can - good PM karma.

If you are working on a specific project that is set to end in the fall, I would give 2 weeks as if you were an employee. However, if the timing you mentioned is general PM because they haven’t hired anyone, 1 week is fine.

Thanks for your reply to my post. The projects that I am working are not set to end this fall however as a freelancer I don't have job security or benefits and especially during a pandemic I do have protect myself.

One week is fine as a freelancer

Agree—1 week is fine if freelancer. You absolutely should take care of yourself!

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?
