Is it normal for managers/project leads to request a 3 month notice if you want to leave your project and join another one? My project does this and I think it’s absurd.

It really depends on the project dynamics with the client. There's a variety of reasons that they want that much lead time to make the decision. Reasons might include:
- Client likes you and you've been proposed for the next phase. If they take you off now before they get the next phase signed, then it puts the next phase in jeopardy. Giving lots of notice allows them time to get the contract signed and then roll you off.
- Client is very sensitive with people leaving and joining, they will need time to position someone new and build The client's confidence in them.
- Bench is very tight and they need time to find the right resource to backfill you.
- etc.

I think it's pretty normal for all the reasons SM1 stated above. We are running a business after all.

Nope. You leave your project when you can get your role backfilled. It should be as simple as that. Please let’s not ruin this profession.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
