I think I’ve given up on the notion of Project Management and Account Management ever working in harmony.
Creatives, Strategists, Developers are great to work with, collaborative, trusting, etc. But I can count on 1 hand the number of Account folks I’ve enjoyed working with over a long career at many agencies. Anyone ever make the jump to an internal PM role with no client work?

I'm almost done with my IT degree and I have no idea what I want to do once I'm done. Any task given, I give 100%. So I'm good or capable of many things but I haven't found the one thing that I like or want to work towards. All signs point to data analyst, but I'm not so sure. If Garcia's job, from Criminal Minds, was a legit job, that's the job I would want. I knew going in that I wanted to do something in cyber security, but now I'm not so sure. I feel like I've wasted so much time.
