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

Project Manager = Internal, Account Exec = External

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.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

What are your client follow-up/communication policies or practices? I’m hearing more and more that clients don’t like the long periods of time with little to no contact. From my perspective, since I bill for my time, unless I have an update or need something, I don’t initiate a call. Also, clients hold on to important info and don’t initiate a call cause they’re waiting for me to communicate with them.
