What would you do about a client that never follows timelines even when it's an urgent project?

Just moved from Big4 to law firm. When going over feedback on client work you did, that’s non-billable training time, correct? It seems obvious to me, but I don’t want to ask such an obvious question to people at my new job. I’d just like some confirmation that this is correct.

Hello, everyone I’m here looking for leads and/or referrals for remote program and/or project management roles… I have a background in education, retail, supply chain and construction… please if I can at least get 11 likes on this post I’d be grateful thanks 😊

My first lead that came organically from my brand new firm site was for a huge amount of work my guess is 350 hours. It seemed like client was price shopping, I wanted the work so I low balled them and offered to do the work for $75 an hour. I think the fair rate would have been 100-150. I think I overshot it because right after I gave the quote I was ghosted.

What should I do if a client staff asked for my number? There’s mutual interest. I don’t interact with them during the audit, but I just want to make sure this isn’t an immediate independence issue.

Are there any firms out there that actually let you take all your PTO? I hate that we have to make up our PTO to meet utilization targets. Been on a capped 40-hour project for the last two years and it’s had a terrible effect on my utilization.

Plus, any firms that don’t require more working for free (like all of our BS firm contributions here at D)?

If all the top consulting firms made anonymous decks or gave anonymous pitches to a client, eg no branding and the client did not know which firm made which deck, do you actually think that the client would prefer MBB?  Is MBB actually coming up with better/more innovative solutions? I feel like I see many repeat or slightly altered solutions on almost all of my cases, are these really things that people at Deloitte/Accenture etc aren’t coming up with?

I have been struggling with juggling work and caregiving for my elderly parents who are at the point where they need constant help, however they refuse to believe they need to move to assisted living. I am struggling with keeping up with work and trying to have some semblance of a life outside of work and caring for them. I understand that caring for small kids can feel like this, but this is different. There is no moment of joy, it’s all kind of depressing. Looking for some wisdom of others.

Thanks in advance!

I took a JR Pm role due to lack of agency experience but I find that the other PMs aren’t doing anything that I’m not & due to lack of leadership, resourcing & foresight I have had to step up and own rooms with no mentorship/guidance.

Reaching out for any advice on questions to ask to truly assess resourcing, support and autonomy at a new place. Thx!

Every PM job posting I see in big tech/FAANG requires a MINIMUM of 5+ years experience, and a large portion even require 7+ years.

How do you explain the difference between an account manager and a project manager to people who just don’t get it? Or better question, how do you explain the PM role at all to those same people?
