To the extent your work environment is tolerable, exit when the right ops comes along. I do recommend to start searching sooner vs later because it does take a while if you don’t want to settle. I exited as SM and cant wait to start new gig!

I’m an M right now, on path for SM next year. I wouldn’t say my foot is out the door, it’s just that I’m thinking long term and as my wife and I grow our family I know I’ll want to seize travel in about 4-5yr

The later, the better. But depends a lot.

Some MDs from my firm are literally ruling the country, in banks, government, lobbists...
SMs are IT Directors, etc.

Hi all! After graduating with my MBA with a focus in project management, I moved organizations to go from an EMR education manager to a full time project manager specializing in EMR implementation projects. I’ve found that although I enjoy the work- changing organizations and roles in a remote world was harder than I anticipated. I want to be great at my job and I think connecting with others that have gone through similar things could help.
