I’m new to FDD — how long do y’all wait to be contacted by someone when inbetween projects before reaching out to resource management/Directors yourselves? Project ended last week and haven’t heard from anyone yet so figure I should reach out soon.

If you care about utilization - reach out to scheduling as soon as you slow down. The best approach is to ask your deal team if the deal is at a point where you can reach out to get staffed on something else so you don't have downtime.

When you’re brand new and not a known team member - you should be reaching out the day after a project wraps. If you’re a known highly rated resource, hide as long as you can

Stay in contact with directors and managers in your group. Typically they can plug you in quicker than resource managers if you're new. It'll help build rapport as well.

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
