Interested in responses. I’m in a boutique and feel this too.

Resonate with your thought-process of choosing one particular area to gain in-depth experience & expertise. I'm also approaching my career the same way, equipping myself with resources in line with my career goals while being on the lookout for suitable opportunity. From what I have seen, SMEs earn more in the long run. I'd like to believe that one could still continue to retain that "T-shape" career form.

Depends on your drive. I'm a dedicated on site delivery engineer and work with my AM on developing pre-sales stuff for my client and make sure it's correct thenru it through the architect for blessing (I'm usually more accurate). The architect and AM get the sales kudos and the commission. However I don't have to go drum up more and more sales and customers and don't have that pressure. My pressure is to keep my hours up and bring the project in under budget and on time.

How important is it to actually have the number of years of work ex in PM job postings? Most Sr PM roles look for 5. I will have 3.5 yrs PM + 7 yrs of consulting when I apply next year. I manage my own vertical, handle Engg, Jira, PMM, Webinars, everything.

Should I wait another year to be at 4.5 before applying? Don't want a lateral move, only promo & cash.
Happy where I am currently, though underpaid and overworked, it's still good work exp with good team, a good manager & complex product.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
