What is the difference between an account executive and a project manager? When I look at the job descriptions there is not a lot of clarification. Could you enlighten me?

Project managers coordinate with each department to develop appropriate timelines for each deliverable, control the routing process, identify which resources are needed, and help prioritize workloads. They are rarely part of client calls. Account managers talk directly with the client, help pitch new business, sometimes provide feedback on deliverables, and a bunch of other things.

AM manages client relationship. PM manages agency deliverables for client.

Essentially. Most agencies have AMs do the job or PMs and tbh it's a sign to run

Account’s number one job is to manage client expectations.

It’s a lot better to convince the client to give us an extra month to do the work than to “project manage” the hell out of everyone on our team to do the work in an unreasonably short amount of time.

Any tips for building a client base from scratch? I’m a 4th year associate at a firm of 12 attorneys. I practice in business, compliance, and real estate (primarily on partners’ files) and don’t litigate. Most of the partners’ clients are wealthy friends or friends of friends (not my circle). Associates are not referred business, even cold calls, and so far “networking” events like Chamber of Commerce luncheons have been a bust. I equate a book to autonomy and career choice and pressure is on.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
