Welp, I did it. Took on a client who I knew was going to be trouble, and now they don’t want to pay me. Overall, I’m chalking this up to a lesson learned, but any advice for rolling with the punches when you have a negative client interaction? I’ve been a coach for years with all positive feedback, and I think this hurt my pride more than anything.

Always get paid upfront for sessions agreed upon. General rule of thumb in coaching. Also, you need to remove yourself from their outcomes and clients decisions. You coach they execute or not.

Be with that part of you that’s hurt and embrace it with love and acceptance. Ask yourself, “what did I make the interaction mean about myself.” Flood yourself with compassionate self forgiveness around that story.

Hi Fishes,
Need some positive suggestions.

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.
