On a stretch role in my new project - enterprise analytics BA/PM role. Month and half in and manager is chewing me out over concerns I am not retaining the process of how things work and information to do my job. All the while trying to complete actual work for my role and onboard on to the client (big pharma).
Is the feedback reasonable? I’m new to pharma and leading other internal practice wide responsibilities as well. Kinda stressing me out. Feel like I’m going to have to put extra hours.

After a month and a half if you’re not picking up how things work then yes this feed back is reasonable.

I personally wouldn’t care what internal things you’re running, or are apart of - if you aren’t delivering on client work or understanding the basics after a month and a half then I’d start to consider rolling you off so I can find someone who can.

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments

Would love some thoughts on what title structure makes the most sense for my agency /translates within the advertising industry. Our Project Management dept was pretty flat until recently. We’ve build out a real team — I’ll be getting promoted to an associate director level (I’d say that — that’s not what we call it) — and I want to make sure this title makes sense. Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
