Just joined and got on a project with unrealistic deadline. The other two experienced dev and I have already talked internally and to the project manager. M does not seem to appreciate the complexity or how unrealistic it is.

We are gonna try to do it once more with the M and narrow the scope but I am concerned that M won't listen.

I think the other 2 dev is realizing the situation and active trying to leverage their network to get out. This is my 1sr project....

Any suggestions?

Agree with KPMG 1. Raise risk. Keep receipts. I’m dealing with a similar issue on a project. EVERY time I speak with the leadership team regarding the issue, I send them an email that summarizes what was discussed and any actions. Then I add that sent email to a receipts folder so I have proof that they knew about the issue.

Get the project manager to raise a risk or issue on the project and in the description state the meeting you had and attendees who are all in agreement with this risk or issue.

Raise a risk against it and tag that mofo!!!

Talk to the Partner as well.
Happened to me - brought this to the attention of the Partner via email, copied the SM and it got resolved. It was in writing so there was no confusion on the risk I was raising

Make sure you listen and take notes when the M tells you, again, what will happen as the deadline approaches.

Hi fishes,
if one doesn't like the work and Project in a company and feels he is under paid, how soon should he plan to switch. I mean is it normal for an employee to switch within 3 months. Should he switch or try to stay till atleast 6-8 months before planning to switch to get the best offer without hurting his resume.

Fishes, I have a job title question. Does it matter if a role is in the same project with different titles? Example: SA, State and Local, Researcher vs SA, State and Local, Business Analyst. The job description makes it sound like they are the same project. However, Business Analyst does have more requirements/qualifications listed than Researcher. I’m coming from industry (3 YOE). Any insight is much appreciated! Thanks :)

Designers, have you ever been in a position where you’re pretty much taking the lead on all aspects of the project?

I’m feeling so overwhelmed with a new project that came in and I feel like I’m pretty much the only one doing the work. And on top of that my salary doesn’t reflect the work that I’m doing.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
