Been working in the security technology field for 22 years now. In the last 2 years I've been maintaining new build projects from start to finish as a technician. The clients have been designating me as a junior PM, whether it's CCTV, Access Control or intrusions systems, I've been the go-to on site. I'm looking for some advice on how to pivot into that role since the last 2 years I have been doing it just without the title, and some of our sales reps have been stating that more than once.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your question. With 22 years in the security technology field and recent hands-on experience managing new build projects, you already have the skills and exposure of a project manager, even if your title hasn’t reflected it. Highlighting your leadership on-site, client interactions, and successful project completions in your resume and LinkedIn profile can help you pivot officially into a PM role. Emphasizing measurable achievements, like project scope, timelines, or client satisfaction, will make your experience stand out.

When I faced a similar transition, support from the career team at alfredpetersonhiringteam/gmail/com helped me reframe my experience and present my skills for roles that matched my abilities. Their guidance was instrumental and ultimately helped me secure my first role as a flight attendant. If you’d like advice on positioning your profile and stepping into formal project management roles, connecting with their group could be very beneficial. Wishing you confidence and success as you make this move!

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
