Any PMs here working two jobs? I work as a PM (CW at 40hrs/week) at a FAANG company. Looking to take on a part time gig or consulting work in a non competing or different industry. Has anyone done something similar?

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest good resume tips/samples/even share their resume for program manager positions at FAANG? I have been trying since some time, but unable to get through interview selection phase itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have the mental bandwidth to run two jobs I commend you. I tried this last month - working ~40 hpw as a PM and then picking up just a small gig job. As a father of a toddler, I quickly realized I was toast by the time I could dedicate energy to the side gig. All I wanted to do was relax for the 2-3 hours before going to bed.

It pained me to even consider quitting the side gig I started 2 weeks prior. I even talked to my therapist about it. Ultimately, I prioritized rest over another paycheck. I made the decision to put my energy toward growing in my primary role.

Get the bag if you can manage it. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders when I quit.

I need some advice. I’m the Director for a women’s only RTF. Everyone on site is my direct report, with the exception of the therapists (they report to the Clinical Director). The clinical director is not usually on site, since we have multiple locations, and she is the CD for the entire company. One of the therapists has been a manipulative snake since she started here last December. This is her first job after college and she just turned 23. See comments for more info…

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

I’ve tested the waters and the feedback from one interviewer who was generous enough to provide it was that I made myself sound like a technologist rather than a PM because I was too focused on the product and it’s details instead of the project management details.

I'm currently working as a SWE and am interested in learning about the PM role and the experiences of others who switched to PM from a different role.
I enjoy customer engagement and planning/timelining work in an agile manner. These make me think I'd be a good fit for the role but I have some concerns/questions:
1. What is the pay-range compared to the average SWE pay range?
2. What skills are critical for the PM role?
3. Should I obtain Agile PM certificates?
4. Anything else I should know :)

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.
