  • Agreeing with anyone, I will take the next step forward and think about this from a different point of view. Regardless of who is responsible. I think its a loss to the project manager as well as the entire team. Because now more money would have to be spent in order to detect where the mistake happened or the project will be dropped due to the…[Read more]

  • To be honest, after speaking with a lot of people who work in the industry and have several years of experience. I don’t find these results to be surprising. Especially meaningful work/make a difference and benefits being the lowest.
