Feel like they don’t pay as much. For software projects, I feel like they’re treated like peons.

For my projects, everybody. By the project directors, the consultants. In my company a program manager is higher level project manager.

I think you need to be focused on what you WANT to do. Pure play PMs herd cats, I can be rather thankless. I play the role here and there and find it to monotonous.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
