I've been working on a project for a month now as a junior, with a team of 2 seniors and a director (who has not put any input in the deliverables).

I find myself carrying the whole project and now they ask me to present the final deliverables on short notice to the client by myself because none of my superiors are available.

I don't know if I'm overreacting but it seems like too much responsability put onto a junior (mind you I started my career 6 months ago lol).

Yea no, thats a horrible team. As a junior you shouldn’t be left to do a whole client deliverable alone. There should be proper guidance and input

Unbelievable! I can’t believe your superior will allow the client to see a junior present.

Idk 6 months isn’t weird to be presenting to clients but def is if you’re the only one presenting, typically I would expect presenting a few slides and fielding a question or two but nothing more than that

I feel you on this one haha… exactly how I feel currently, although I’m not junior or fresh out of school. I was assigned a big presentation to leaders, did really well, so now they have me doing it every time. I’m insanely, I repeat, insanely busy. But when something comes out with my name on it or attached to it, they know it will be good.

And saying that not to toot my own horn… saying that because there’s been so many instances where someone else has all the information, in the more pertinent work area, higher position than me, but they assign presentation, document, plan, etc, to me.

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

I am so tired of being treated like an assistant and I’m at a loss on how to correct it.

Random question. Sometimes an app or website doesn’t work due to the fact that I’m using a VPN.
