Is it possible to do an entire home remodel like they do on TV with one entity handling the entire project? Like if you bought a 1300 sqft place 130K under budget, is there a all in one contractor / project management service who will work with you in the design but handle the entire renovation?

That would be a General Contractor....that's what they do. You pay 10‐15% overhead for them to manage, but so damn worth it IMO.

Essentially, but delays get passed on to you, they don’t come up with magic money to fix issues

Yes, but it is in your best interest to have a separate contract with your architect/designer rather than subbing them through the contractor.

You want the designer working for your interests, not the contractor’s.

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

Is the McKinsey agile coach role client facing? Same comp as consultants?

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get.

Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
