Management consulting is a part of all of our companies so there is no shortage of generalist roles if you don’t want to get into the technical weeds.

If you want to obtain technical skills, I would suggest training/certifications. People staffing technical projects will be more inclined to bring you on their team.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Anyone do any PM mentorship on the side?

I don't mind doing it for free, tbh it helps me more than it may help them. Does anyone charge for this and promote themselves?
