Is taking 8 hours to completely rework an old contract for a client too long?

Say, what’s considered too old to show in your portfolio? i.e. some cute illustrations for a personal project but done in 2016…

I have been approached with an opportunity at JP Morgan Chase for their private client advisor role. The book is about 30M all in. I am currently an experienced hybrid asset manager wholesaler and have experience in advising as well. Curious about the opportunity with JPM and if it’s worth it. I currently make about 160k and if JPM would give me a high draw for the first 3 years to build, and if it’s feasible to sustain that 160+ there.

The only reason why I would want to get the Lean 6-Sigma certification would be to beat the client at their own game. Why are people so fixated on Lean?

The thread about the worst clients you’ve worked for is going off. In the spirit of positivity, who is your favorite client you’ve ever made work for?

Anyone made a pivot to a construction project manager from another field? I’ve got an amalgamation of experience from other fields (safety, procurement, logistics/supply chain, project management).

Can anyone give me Azure DevOps small task or project so I can do practice as new in DevOps

Nothing more freeing than a client that lets you pushback on Kirkland’s requests for unnecessary weekend work and calls.

All of my experience is in supply chain (inventory management). I am looking into pivoting into project management. I have zero experience. What types of roles should I be looking for? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

Not a LinkedIn post but need some advice.
Talking to a guy whose bumble profile says that he graduated out of Columbia in 2020 and he’s a product manager in tech. But on text he said, he’s looking to get into grad school. So I decided to stalk his LinkedIn. His LinkedIn says that he works as a project manager in non profit and his education says Columbia university - executive education. That’s not a degree right? I would’ve been ok to go see him but his entire bumble profile is a lie

Hi,

My H1B visa got stamped last year after 2.5 years of wait due to petition/RFE/Covid. There was no onsite slot in my project to travel due to resource cut. My India salary was less (13 lpa) and I was only getting promises for travel. Finally I decided to resign and got an offer (28 lpa). Now my company is saying there is a ready to move position in another project. But, things have changed, my wife is pregnant and I feel like my parents need me more as they are dependent on me. Contd..

How do you find test subjects for your research project? What kind of incentives do you like to offer?

I'd love to get a job in a video games studio. I have experience as a project lead (help deliver a program as part of a cross functional). What kind of skill would you say is essential to work in that environment and to actually get noticed when I apply. I'm very dedicated and will do almost anything to get the job done, so I'm willing to skill up to be able to get in.

Thanks in advance!

New-hire Currently on the bench and interviewed with a couple of projects recently. I was ghosted for one project and I think I’m getting ghosted for one I interviewed with this week. Is it normal to be ghosted if they go with someone else? I’ve sent a follow up email asking if there were any updates, but no response. Is this just how it goes?

Hello All,

Have a few questions regarding IBM Joining, HR response is strangely lacking and so does in the slack(prejoin channels). Hoping can be cleared here..
a) I've been told virtual onboarding is no longer a thing.
How many days does in-person onboarding activities occur?
b) HR Informed,"After onboarding is complete, can get perm WFH based on project or extension of WFH as IBM is flexible"
Is this true? Can managers extend/grant remote for a month then let us transit to remote model?

Looking for a Program Manager (or the like) role at Microsoft but can’t break the through the normal channels of applying on their website.

I regret now that I should not work for company. I should concentrate on my own wealth and health.

Just joined ey as a manager. How quickly do you expect your managers or seniors to get up to speed on a client that may be a bit complex? I usually as a manager would give people atleast one season. Just wondering what senior managers and partners expect if managers. The client im on is a bit complex and it’s taken me a bit of time to learn. I’ve been on it for about 3 weeks now and just getting the hang of it. The director is pretty kind and said try your best there is a learning curve on this

Looking to hire a full-time media buyer. Junior to mid level.

We’re a smaller, specialized agency focusing in performance marketing for corporate innovation and growth stage startups (e.g Cameo, DUDE Products, etc)

You’d work directly with our VP of Growth Marketing and CGO, lots of hands on training.

Ideally in Chicago - we only work in office once a week. Not opposed to out of state remote, but can chat through and see if it’s a mutually fit setup.

DM me or reply if interested!

How do I politely hint at a guy I have just started seeing that he is moving to fast? We have only been seeing each other for a couple of weeks and not had any sort of exclusiveness discussions or anything but he is texting and expecting replies multiple times a day (I am currently on vacation away from the city we both live in), planning trips together in several months, letting me know how much he likes and misses me several times a day. I like him but I am starting to feel very overwhelmed.

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

What to do with a candidate who calls me even on a Sunday and bugs me?

Needing advise. I have been at my new company for 3 months and I hate it. So much to hate too much to type up. So I’ve been applying around and I actually got an interview for my dream position today. How do I explain this current situation? I heard it’s not good to bash other companies but I genuinely do not know how to explain why I want to leave without my current company getting bashed. Should I just put it all out there or keep it vague?

I have been working my tail off since coming back to work after a parental leave (which my boss was not happy or impressed about me taking) to get back in good standing. Today was my bi-annual review and the partners left me such glowing reviews it left me in tears to see that my hard work to both be there for my family and make it in my career has been noticed 😭

How long to argue MSJ? Opposing counsel wants to request a half day which seems insane to me. Cross MSJs. I told him no matter how complicated these motions are judge is not going to want to listen to us for more than maybe an hour—even that seems too long.
