Perfect shitstorm - 4 days for a Tiktok pitch for 2 brands with no accounts and planners, the client comes from the data team… what’s the best part? She wants to see people from the production house. To make sure they are real.

Client politics, basically CRM team won over some budget from branding team, so now they are starting to do some “data-drive creatives” on Tiktok

Agency’s hire freelancers or a senior team that won’t actually work on the account that’s a fair request from the client but also already shows a breakdown of trust

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

If given the choice and being told you are better at Project Management than Account Management... which would be the most beneficial for my career going forward?
