Am I really limiting myself by moving into a PMO role? How easy is it to pivot to other roles such as corporate finance or product manager? My main experience in past has been BA/PM.

Not this early on the game, but I’d also look to build other skill sets that are more specialized and in-demand

Pick up some certs like SAFE, AWS and move into a product owner role

You are doomed to PMO. Sorry. That’s just the type of work we all sell these days.

Are you me? I’m trying to exit out ASAP, accidentally jumped into a PMO heavy role and trying to build skills in my old area of expertise (PMM). Sadly what E1 says is true. It’s not a good look.

Hi Fam,

Looking at leaving audit, for a financial analyst and small Corp Dec roles for small corps.

A few of the roles ask for financial modelling, but I'm unsure if it is DCF (per my old finance classes) and need IB level type work or just quick and easy excel modelling for sensitivity/variances from different parameter changes.

Seems like a vague term.

Would love to get some insight on people who perform financial modelling in their work and had it in their position description.

Thanks
