Im not sure why but I’ve suddenly gotten to the point where I’m not looking forward to going to work. Since the bench was so large, I took on a project that has nothing to do with data science. For some reason my experience with consulting is just being rolled off projects because of budget issues. Almost every project last year I was rolled off because of budget. I’ve been here for 1.5 years and I feel like I’ve learned nothing. Any advise?

What level are you?

A1, someone told me that’s not a good idea because practice lead will see I’m not contributing to their practice and if I could find someway to stay longer, I’d like to eventually get to C7 so I need to “play” right ( is what people have told me)

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.
