I feel so guilty for leaving my firm for industry

Is tomorrow already Monday?? Life is a blur at the moment.

For those that lateraled to another firm for FDD work - was your 2 week period paid out? Were you worked? Should I expect to have a 2 week paid vacation when I put in notice?

Receiving approx 30% pay bump to move firms. Stay schemin boys

Which firm has the prominent global mobility practice? I thought it was PwC, but we’ve been getting multiple RFP’s from their clients since the spin-off. Very interested to see what the next couple years look like.

Best books about product management for a good exit to industry? I already have an MBA and PMP but looking for a refreshed perspective since it’s been years since my formal education.

Currently reading “Product Managements Sacred Seven” but it’s geared toward the startup world. I am in healthcare and not looking for a startup role. TIA!!!

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

My fiance is an American any idea if PwC sponsors green card if I filed through marriage or if I had to do it myself how would one go about it?

How do you manage a long distance relationship? I got engaged 3 months ago and my fiancé and I live in different cities. I just can’t stop thinking about her and feel horrible there on.

My Ammi told me
“Yeh American Saray crazy
Mut ja beta”

Then Baba said
It’s for her bright future
Beta get that Green Card
(I did)

Now we have the plague
And a “charia” President
Ammi says: “Beta tell me, was it worth it?”

Happy fourth everyone. Mmmerica the beautiful.

Does this debate remind anyone of an agency meeting, where people just talk over each other?

I have resigned and my agency is not counting my approved PTOs for two weeks. I put notice for 30 days, is there any way I can negotiate? Or is there any law that prevents companies to cancel hard earned PTOs?

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Any recommendations for companies to create personas? Are there new technologies to get interesting findings about concerns, aspirations, goals?

Anyone have any good diversity training resources?

Has anyone ever worked with Mark Pollard or Julian Cole? Are they as great as they seem?

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career.
