What project management tools do other Seniors use in Microsoft Teams? I used “Projects” for my ERISA jobs this year, but looking for something a bit more robust for my financial institution audits. Thanks!

Context - we performed all audits remotely starting in March, and we will continue to do so until at least next April. I like using these tools to give my team their work for the week and give them as much independence as possible.

My teams use the “Planner” in Teams to assign tasks and use them to update on status and open items.

I’m stupid. I use Planner, not Projects. I like it, but I just want to see if there are any other options out there before I start getting my busy season jobs ready.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended. I’m currently a grad student part time and was hoping to work that job until finishing grad school before applying to consulting roles. Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for

2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?
