Who’s a better client to work with in terms of tech consulting/analytics: CMS or FDA? FDA seems to have more interesting work going on

I've only heard this second hand from people who have worked at those places, but the FDA projects have sounded *way* better to me. I've heard some stories of CMS being completely disfunctional. (Like maybe 85% on a scale of 0 to VA.)

As you know that is a tough question to answer, with places like cms it depends on what vehicle your firm is on, as well as what category domain they fall into. Places like Mathematica and rti take most of the cool work

FDA all the way

I’m from Tech consulting. For the current week I didn’t get any project allocation and when I reported to the manager they said work with your leads and get some tasks. When I asked the leads they are like we don’t have any task right now. This will result in charging admin hours for me. Will this impact anything if it continues? YOE: 1.3

So I am in a unique situation from a supply chain standpoint. Client has a Make to Order product, with a backlog up to next year so in theory life should be easy. Except the current Supply Chain environment means the amount of past dues are racking up and the production schedule keeps falling wildly behind and catching up because impossible because the schedule is packed at capacity.

I have some ideas to help them, but I would love to find some good reading on MTO best practices and scheduling.

Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

One thing I like about my firm is that, if your intern sucks? You can just say they suck and they’ll get pulled off your job so you can focus on being efficient. I put considerable effort into 1: he’s never available, never finishes anything, never takes notes, doesn’t follow through on communication ever, zero initiative, and refuses to talk to anyone except 1 staff associate even when specifically directed otherwise. I can’t push pull or drag him if I tried (and I did). I don’t feel bad.
