I think it depends a little on the role (and level).

I’ve had some horrible managers (who have been at the VP level) who have had no business managing teams.

Working well with non analytics colleagues and not complaining that “they’re all idiots” instead of understanding how the gaps in their understanding of what we do may be the cause of the issues we experience when they don’t provide information or follow our processes in the way we need.

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

A partner I work for keeps asking for ETA's on assignments I have already submitted to the senior associate on the deal for review.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
