I’m a national buyer (linear tv and digital video). I’d like to move client side or to a consulting firm (because it seems most clients use consultants to manage buying rather than doing it in-house). In terms of going client side - I’m finding most clients want people with digital or Ad Opps experience, and my video expertise is obsolete. Anyone know of clients that look for video expertise? In terms of consulting - which companies have people liked working with regarding buying matters?

How do u guys deal with one person on the client side constantly mansplaining to you? He does this to everyone but I feel like he does it more to me. We were on a call today and the developers asked me a question and this guy is the scrum master and cut me off and said “oh she doesn’t understand” before I even answered. I have him a look like “wtf.” I told him after the meeting to stop saying I don’t understand and let me explain the reqs to the team. And he just dismissed me. I’m the business architect kind of filling in for the product owner. The product owner is too busy to join meetings. I work with what I can from the PO.

All - I am on a large project (100+ people) a consultant that was combative to me (and in email) and did poor work is now likely going to be brought on to another work stream that I will be tangentially related too. I’m trying to be an adult about this but I’m just so upset people get away with things and come back. I was his Manager. It was a poor fit but his behavior was inexcusable and when I talked to his CC he was not surprised (pattern of behavior). Don’t know what I’m asking just advice.

How does everyone handle managing their caseload and utilizing their paralegal(s)? I litigate primarily, with occasional small transactional projects that come up in the course of those files. It’s usually real estate related—drafting a purchase agreement, deed, etc. My firm is not one where we specialize so much that each case has the same process as every other case. So it often feels like I’m having to tackle something brand new in each and every case. (cont.)

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

How did you get started in PM? Did you take any classes?

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

So I started a new job a few months ago at an agency. Though my work performance is good I have been extremely stressed and anxious nonstop since day one. The work pace and load is significant.

Should I stay or should I go?
