Question for seniors, how do you stay motivated to finish an engagement when the manager, partner and client seem like they have no interest in getting it done? Seems like all of my private company audits are like this.

Meh I think it's better to stay as up to date on them as you can, that way they can't pin any of it on OP. They will be the ones reviewing op, after all, not the opposite

My joining date was 15 September, so am I eligible for upcoming appraisal as the annual review is due by October 14 and I have just joined a project?

Please share your insights as I have looked for advice everywhere else.

Partners: do you prefer to hear about team politics, toxic envrnmnts (within the team as directors don’t like to work together etc) real time or after certain phase of project is over like a retro ?

How would you approach a situation where your SM has you run with projects on your own for weeks then jumps in the day before it’s due and gives a ton of comments that could have been addressed along the way if you had some help? Seems like there could be more hands on project management to have a better work product but not sure how to start that conversation. I’ve tried status updates frequently and bring up issues as they arise, but having 1 person do multiple projects at once makes it hard.

Anyone know if it’s worth making the change?
