About to take the PMP. Advice that helped you pass? I’m freakin out...

How rough of a life is post MBA MBB? In terms of hours/work life balance

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

I’m a pharmacist and currently doing an MBA. I have only 2 YOE as a pharmacist and I’m trying to find a career path that will suit me.

Anyone have a lawyer or personal finance advisor they trust and recommend in NYC? Post MBA and new to the city; I need to buckle down and finally get a will and outside $ advice on taxes.

Does your undergrad school matter to MBA admissions? Does it make a difference if you have a great GPA from a state school or an average GPA from a highly selective school?

PE ops companies in Singapore?

first int’l trip to Singapore as a staff for work. not sure what airline i should fly. i typically fly united (i’m in nyc) but i really am not loyal to them and wouldn’t mind switching airlines, recs?

We’re planning to be in Kauai for a week in mid-December, but I’m thinking of extending the trip an extra 10 days. Would we have enough to do with a 4yo in tow? Or maybe not worth it to stay that long? Staying at the Grand Hyatt first week, then downgrade to Sheraton Coconut Beach.

Problem solving; identifying a problem & figuring out a solution

Wanting to get out of fed space. I am a data scientist with 5YOE. What are good companies to look for in DC area that’d hire someone with gov consulting experience?

I have a case I have enough evidence on to go to summery judgement on off the gate. Procedurally what's the best way to go a out this? D's are unrepresented and extremely difficult about settlement talks.

What is a non offensive salary base to ask for when working in Point of Sale sales? What’s the trend like? I’m in Houston Texas

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year. This seems very low considering what I’ve seen for average SA salaries for those who hold the AWS SAA certification. Was hoping for some insight on this and if I should seek more compensation. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
Is it only me or are you guys not getting enough calls from recruiters nowadays?
I mean it used to be a good rate during May/ early June but it has reduced drastically.
Any ideas? Is it due to economic slowdown? Or something else?

Does anyone here know any good recruiters for Boston? Not looking to move, but want some intel (and feel awkward reaching out to the recruiter who placed me here).

I’m the only PM in my company. We work with custom automation in Michigan. I’m a recent graduate in mechanical engineering but I have 6+ in business and a degree on it. My question is, is 60k too little? Some of my friends are telling me that I was lowballed.

Digital/digitally-savvy PMs, can I pick your brains? I’m up for a Sr. PM position at a creative agency working mainly w/tech clients. My background is more print based, especially the last couple years. When I was working in digital, it was very straightforward (mostly static/animated banners with a little bit of social). Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!

If you could work for a prior company again? Who would it be and why? Who would you stay clear from?

Considering making a company (not necessarily role) change and want to find the right fit. I have 10yo experience, director level, currently manage a team of 10 PMs across levels and lead project management for a mid-sized digital marketing agency.

Hi there, I'm a PM looking to apply my skills to MarTech. I have PM'd marketing projects but do not have agency experience. Any advice on how break though?

What is the average salary for a project manager at a social media agency? NYC-based with 5 years experience.

Made the switch out of advertising into a different industry, and absolutely hating it. The $ is amazing though— is it possible to get back into advertising and make ~$130k in NYC with 5 yrs exp?

Has anyone here gone from PM to Resource Management or vice versa? There seem to be a lot of resource management jobs out there, but they seem more monotonous than managing projects. What is the career trajectory for a RM?

What are typical PM title structures? I know they are a bit different everywhere. I’m building a team from the ground up and am curious what other agencies and in house teams look like. Thanks!

Would it be out of line during interviews to ask about agency revenue/growth or account health/trends?

I went through a pretty rigorous interview process for a marketing project manager but ultimately wasn't given job. Though most of the feedback was positive, the other candidate had more direct experience with the job responsibilities (digital assets, social media, etc.) My job/company dabbles in digital but it's primarily traditional media. How do I again the experience if I'm limited by the type of work we do?

What’s your rule of thumb for account and pm percentage on a project? Looking for a swag number I can use to show average account to creative ratios. Thanks!

Doing some career planning and wanted some advice. I have 4 years for project management experience in production and I just started PMing at an ad agency.

1.How long should I stay in this position before making my next move?
2. What should my next move be?! (Stay in the company and try to scale up or move on.)
3. Would getting my PMP at this point be helpful?

Anyone else find that most companies hiring a PM, don’t actually know what a PM’s role/responsibilities are?

Hi fishes 😊
Anyone interviewed recently for a PM position at Adobe or just works there? I had the 2nd round and I know the next will involve me presenting a business case to a panel of 5.

1. Any idea of what the business case can be?
2. What is their general outlook on parental leave? In the 2nd round I basically told them that I am pregnant and willgo on mat leave in March. I wonder if I will be dismissed just because of this or I still have a chance...

Any thoughts?
