Another salesman told a client their ad campaign would be ready next week. Today our supervisor told me to help him, but he has hardly even started the work. Is there any way for me to point this out without feeling like a jerk

Get my bonus at the end of March but have to start at a new company a week later, and I can’t push the start date to later. Would you 1. Give a weeks notice and potentially burn bridges? 2. Give two weeks notices (or more) and have the potential to be walked out before bonus hits? (Btw I’m in industry at a large f100 company)

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC

First time working with a new service line MD and the first big project he needed me to do did not turn out right. It wasn’t what he was looking for. His communication skills are hard to follow. I feel awful that I messed up. Now I have to meet with him AGAIN to go over it. Any advice? How do I start communicating effectively?

Now got offer from freshmenu(product based) giving only 25% hike(24Fix,0V) but ready to wait 90D NP. They are saying - I already got good hike, no budget, your NP is high and we are considering only fixed part.
So in dilemma to stay for yearly hike or to leave because of 90D NP which will make difficult to get another job
