As a manager - I would suggest send your manager a note and go. Unless you have a time crunch the networking is more valuable than working on a per hour basis.
Client asks you to something like that you really should go (if project isn't on fire). Long term, relationships are super important.
Ask the client to pay
Ask your manager...?
Go if you want to go, but don't charge hours if not actual client. Or, you know, charge but with a wink toward a loose interpretation of your orgs time guidance.
Think im gonna stay on site. Wanted to network ugh. Sad face
So... go. Network. Charge whatever code you would if you went to a networking event. But I'd send a note to your manager first. Probably not a bad idea to run it by them
Ugh i ended up not going. Didnt want tp text manager on other coast to ask. I have work but it's not on fire. Person who asked me is just someone who works here, but never hurts to build relationships (especially with my agenda trying to get hired by client). Ugh. Freaking dammit
There'll hopefully be a next time OP. Now you've learned your lesson consulting 101: Relationships are the king of consulting (good, bad or indifferent) you always have the ability to change people's mind so long, as you obtain the skills in your tool belt to do so. Or GoT their asses by playing people like pawns in a chess game and politic the hell out of a bad relationship to get what you want/need.
