I’m struggling with the asks the owner of our agency
Has of me as her account rep/ sales manager. She wants me to more of a sales manager who is conducting team meetings daily. Having daily goals shout out, mid day checks on where they are with those goals, and end of day reports from each individual on what their accomplished. Meanwhile I have sales goals equal if not more than the team individually.

Advice on how to balance this without sacrificing the sales?

One option I might consider, depending on the owner, is to ask them. More than happy to do xyz, but you are concerned it’ll take away from sales, where do you want me to prioritize? Are you personally in a role that has both management and IC tasks? I think I’m not reading the question totally right.

Yes I both. And I’m letting the leadership slide as my attention is on doing the sales since we have two of us capable at the moment. 2 more in training and 2 leaving the agency.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

I accepted an offer from Cognizant for a consultant position a little less than a month ago. My joining date is 5th September and I would need visa sponsorship. I have completed my pre joining formalities and background verification. The thing is I haven’t heard from HR in a while and no update as yet on visa sponsorship process. Should I be worried?
