There are too many stories of dumb moves. Driving an Avis rental to a Hertz meeting or flying to a Delta meeting on another airline and they ask to show your plane ticket. Walking into a meeting at Coke with a Pepsi product etc. We had a meeting at Timex once. I Bought watches for all 4 of us attending. It did not come up at the meeting but I know they noticed. We got the work by the way.

What watch? Ten watch. Such much?

Whatever watch you think your client might be wearing. You don’t want to 1-up the client ( not in that way anyway)

Match their level (maybe be slightly dressier). Want to blend in but also look polished.

Garmin Forerunner 965

I have a couple high end watches. I’ll wear them but keep them covered in front of certain clients

Submariner

Looking for an entry level non exempt positions. I've been in and out of both food service and retail for years. I know what I'm worth and I know how strong my work ethic is.

I'm fairly experienced in management and am willing to learn more.

Thank you.

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people
