Currently at Deloitte with 4.5 YOE primarily on tech implementation projects. PM seems to be at top of the exit opp list but curious to hear what current PMs with similar background also explored (or wish they got into)?

Only thing I haven’t done that I wish I could have was found a company with the expertise I got from PM. Student loans and putting my partner through grad school told me it wasn’t worth the risk.

I took a long look at traditional strat consulting (I came from Accenture and the prestige was always tempting) but eventually decided it was more valuable to get a dog, have a pickup basketball league, learn to cook, and all the other things you can do with your 5p - 9p hours.

I’m thinking about starting my own agency. I have been freelancing on the side over the past two-and-half years as a CD and Marketer. In that time, I have worked with 4 agencies and 3 companies repeatedly. 20 additional hours a week has been about as much as I can do, alone. But if I had more people I could handle more work and probably secure retainers.

Hi All, I’m closing in on my 2 year mark as a PM. I started my career with a tiny startup that was acquired last year. My manager/mentor had his role expand with the acquisition and now has limited time to push me through mentorship. Curious if others have experienced this and how they confronted their mentors/found additional mentors?

Question for ya’ll. I’m effective at managing 2-3 features simultaneously - from discovery to launch. But when I get to 4 or 5 simultaneous features, everything starts falling apart.

How do you balance keeping everything moving forward at that level of context switching?

Hi - I’m a PM at a reasonably well known company. I don’t have an MBA and see lots of folks asking about needing that to get an interview at FB, G or A. I can confirm that an MBA isn’t a hard req as I’ve had recruiters reach out and offers to move forward to interviews before.
