Relatively new partner in a corporate group with my own book of business and frustrated about getting clients to pay. I work with companies that are usually struggling a bit but not without $. They will pay their auditors (bc audits wont be done otherwise), advisors etc. and I’m lenient, but when I ask it’s always a little bit at a time or cash is tight. Any tips would be appreciated.

Looking for some advice.. Manager left, I was given their work. Promoted few months after, but not to the role of my previous manager. Rec opened, I applied, didn't get it. We hired the new person and in my hopes to offload some of that original work back to them. I was told I'm going to continue to do everything my previous manager was doing. I'm still not a product manager even tho my previous manager was and the new manager is. Applying to jobs and concerned my title is holding me back.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.
