DD1 - Yes, we call it “growth” but it’s more like “burnout inducer”

Agreed with @A1 - certainly a stretch role for an Analyst. I’d personally want to make sure you were well versed in Agile before putting you into such a role though.

Surprising to hear of an Analyst taking a Scrum Master role. What experience do you have?

If you want a challenge go for it. If you do well it will set you up pretty damn well for promotion, as being a scrum master is a leadership postion. If you want to ease your way in a bit to ACN I would look at other roles for now. Depends on what you want to do.

My interests are in MC and the manager said i would be working by myself, which seems like it could be overwhelming, so I’m a bit hesitant

Based on what she described it seemed pretty accurate, this is the description

Op - If you are proficient in Agile and Jira operations well enough to explain both to a client, it’d be worth applying

Finally a post where people do not bash on PMO!

My main concern is, my interest lie within Management Consulting and I feel like this role may risk that, and may put me in a Technology consulting track

Worried because of my salary at my current company I am pricing myself out of opportunities to move into a rep agency that could eventually give me the opportunity to buy into it. I’m currently almost topping out on my salary at current company with no opportunity to progress. Can make good money for a while here, but new challenge is interesting to me. Struggling accepting I may have to cut my salary 10k-20k in order to do that…

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.
