My 40 yo client regularly calls me “kid”. At 30 I think it’s mostly endearing but still drives me nuts

I faced a similar problem in my project. He is 56 and I was 23 when I joined.
Although he never called me kid, but his way of communication changed a bit when he got to know my age.
Next project onwards, I never told how old I'm in the industry. Helps me connect with senior people and communicate better.

Happened with me when I was on an Indian auto ancillary insolvency project, I was 27 and CEO was 70 and he treats me like kid while I was searching for a good deal for them. Turns out he intentionally brought his company to this stage and siphoned all bank loans. Now he and his family is enjoying.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
