Yeah, I was on a long term implementation project.

Every week to opposite coast for 12 months. Was terrible. Covid came about and low key saved my mental health.

9 when I was a summer intern

Every week (mon-thurs) to NC from the week after Thanksgiving to covid shutdown (~3.5 months). Would've kept going until July w/o covid.

Got put on a different project same client right after and before covid team was consistently traveling weekly before covid so possibly could've gone 1.5yrs straight.

I did cross country every week for 3 years, exceptions being two weeks over the holiday and/or one week long vacation I took and one remote week each year.

You are a true road warrior haha

15 weeks alternating between flying to Tennessee and Florida for the same client

A whole year, less vacations.

12

I think I did 15 without a single break (PTO or otherwise) when I was younger. Finally turned to my SM and asked if I could have one week to get my life together…

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night.

Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Hello,

I am currently a Health Admin Fellow at a leading healthcare system. I am in a phase during my fellowship where I will have to start searching for a role within the system in the next 3 months.

I was wondering what kind of role would be best step forward for an admin fellow.

I was offered a project coordinator role but feel I should not accept the same without looking at other options. I aim to seek out a project manager role and was wondering if this would be the wrong step forward.

Would love some thoughts on what title structure makes the most sense for my agency /translates within the advertising industry. Our Project Management dept was pretty flat until recently.

Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)

I left gecio and went to liberty mutual, but I’m not liking their way of evaluating claims. They rely heavily on Mitchell which is a pricing tool and their reductions are excessive. I’m thinking of switching back to Geico and was wondering if anyone has gone back to their previous carrier. I used to be a lit adjuster at gecio and now only handling soft tissue claims, which is extremely boring. I’m gonna be going through liberty’s litigation training at the end of June.
