Project Managers? Solutions Delivery? Integrated Production? Program Managers? Seems like a lot of overlap. Can anyone tell me how they’re truly different?

Depends on the agency/deliverables tbh. Core functions/responsibilities are likely the same.

Sure but what about agencies that use all of them?

Production = executing a specific campaign, Project Management = project managing resources across an account. Is that a fair assessment?

like

Specialized producers like print or broadcast would fit that description more accurately where Integrated Producers in many places are part of a team for more than just single-campaign executions and can bring efficiency and historical insight across all sorts of ongoing work.
But then again so can program managers and Solutions Delivery.

I am an Associate in Corporate Cash Management filling in for pat leave. The person is expecting to return in Sept.

There is no guarantee that I can keep this job. So I want to explore what options I have if they don’t decide to keep me.

My current job is focused on RFP writing, product/project coordinating, improving and building models (pricing, net interest income calculator, etc.) not directly client facing.

Advice Please
It's been 4month with the team with no manager. I recently joined the organization and the team I am part of is headed by a lead and one analyst.
So being a new member as Sr.Data Analyst I sometimes have to report to analyst. Considering the fact that he has been part of the team for past 1 year and sometimes he sounds like lead as he is leading some project.
On other hand my manager is continuously asking me take lead in project and try to reduce dependency on that analyst.

I hate my client. They are draining to work with and it’s incredibly difficult to keep morale up on the team (across departments). Leadership is aware the account is a grind but they bring in a healthy fee and are in the top 3 for revenue. No one wants to work on it so resourcing has trouble finding people to touch the business. As an account director, this is all wearing on me. I don’t think I can do it any longer. Do I quit or ask off, even though I know there are no other accounts to go to.

Part Two: Today we had a meeting set up for the project and I get on Zoom… I’m waiting…. I email…I text…
Then I get this email from the recruiter:
I spoke with Sam just a short while ago.
He cited his reason for leaving as one where there was no long term potential of becoming an FTE for Roku. This became apparent to him yesterday, I suppose, during ​his first day. This was never something he brought up as a concern to me when we chatted through the process and he admitted that he never mentions

I mistakenly mentioned a client name when I was talking about my product management skills. This was for a product manager role interview at Apple that focused on Customer support.
I instantly realized that I shouldn’t have done that but I didn’t say anything because the interviewer seemed to be unbothered but he wrote something down. Also he continued with the interview like nothing happened. Am I screwed???
