Act like everything was cool after the client snapped their fingers and asked for someone on the team to get fired and the m/sm did it. (This was not at D.) For the second time.

The client didn’t make me do anything but I had a client sexually harass one of my analysts and threaten to “not renew a contract if she told anyone.”

I raised the issue to HR (both mine and clients’) and was able to fire the guy in one weeks’ time. What a douche.

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is. I usually say something along the lines of “a large client in X industry/vertical” because dropping the client name feels tacky? But at the same time, my main client is niche and knowing who is kind of vital to understand the work.

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. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?
