I’m inundated with client work. Definitely working >12 hour days resulting in no time to offer support with RFPs, practice development, etc. I feel like this will work against me come promo. Thoughts?

No. If you are a solid performer you don’t need the extras. Extras are nice but some roles and projects don’t make it realistic or possible.

My thinking was because the SM role focuses more on the sales and the fact I’m not really involved in RFPs, I wondered if that’d play in the decision on if I’m ready. No issues from a client delivery aspect; my leadership knows I excel in that regard.

I believe so—the free work is still important, given that others still manage to do it. Have you tried delegating tasks to others?

12 months in a year; don’t sweat it. You don’t need to be checking every box all the time. Billing a ton of hours will look good if/when layoffs come around

Good for you to still have client work lol. I billed 5 hours this week and am pretty waiting to be laid off.

Your thinking is correct OP. I am in the same boat. Got rave reviews on last year’s performance, but the knock was I didn’t contribute enough to the things you mentioned. Making a conscious decision this year to put more focus on that. Guess I’ll let you know in 10 months if it was worth it

For a project, I would like to program something with a back end and a front end. It should be easy and focused especially on analytics. This is what I wish the tool would do:
- import excel/csv configuration table
- calculation & analytics (sas/r/python style)
- export csv
- allow for visuals (bar charts etc.)
- it should work on/ offline and should be able to be executable without having specific software installed

I was thinking R shiny style. Do you have suggestions/ ideas where to start?
