Ran a piece of code when I started my project nearly 8 months ago. Was my first consulting project. The data was poorly organized but essentially we ran the wrong piece of code for the results we were using. Noticed this now but should I just re-run it or should I tell my M?

I've learned from experience that hoping something will go away doesn't work. And covering it up is even worse. As M2 said, tell your manager and let him/her handle the client. Everyone makes mistakes, it's okay.

Be honest. You made a mistake but the data must have passed the sniff test so it cannot have been too bad. Whether or not your project lead tells the client is a different matter. If you know and don’t say anything then your project lead finds out, how could they trust you again?

How off is the answer? If the answer doesn’t change, then ask for an updated dataset and bury it. It’s more about saving face with the client than anything. Solutions are more important than problem identification.

Then be honest with your leadership and let them decide if it matters. It’ll burn your rep a bit, but at least you found it. Could always just say you made it more efficient, etc.

Hi everyone,

My company is hiring cleared folks for the following roles Linux engineers, windows engineers, procurement, program/project managers, and others. Really unique and interesting work. DM if interested.

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them.

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
