Does anyone actually really like doing PMO roles, or is there anyone who has made a career out of it? I think I would like it since I enjoy organizing info and I feel like it’d also make it easier for me to work in a wider array of projects. And yes, I am aware that pmo work is openly shamed on this app and in real life 😂

Project managers are in high demand. If you’re organized and can keep other on task, that’s huge. I actually like it and have made a successful career out of it

I dunno. My wife and I both have PM-heavy roles. HHI > $350k to make slides and send emails. It’s ok I guess. 🤷‍♂️

I do it full time and I hate it lol. Gets really repetitive. I think at higher levels one may enjoy it as it’s a lot more delegating than mundane tasks.

PMO is one of those things that few people enjoy doing. But, if you enjoy it and are good at it you can basically write your own ticket. There is a huge demand for PMs. I don’t even really do PM work but I am constantly bombarded with offers from all different sectors because I have a PMP certification.
