Did you ask if you could bill the time you spent driving round taking pics to the client code?

Clearly you have a cell phone so you should have just dialed in from there.

JK - hope you’re okay and you should find a way to never work with that MD again.

You might as well name the big 4 - the MD that asked you to do this already knows you ratted then out, no one else would think to ask this and you share the photos. You are already busted...come out with it.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
