Feeling stuck in current role because team staffs based on capability rather than role/responsibility/org chart/etc. I’m a senior project manager and my counterpart leads are directors. This isn’t a growth/promotion opportunity as I just got promoted to the senior pm role. Any advice?

You’re stuck because project manager is a soon-to-be irrelevant career. There are already a number of tech companies that are using AI to build PM bots and automated software with the goal of reducing PM overhead. My suggestion would be to transition into a less replaceable part of the org...perhaps account management or creative.

This makes me laugh about as much as when PMs and Engineers think they don’t need Creative and can make whatever they need using Canva. I’ve been on both kinds of projects, and they both suck. Find a project where you are valued, regardless of what you do.

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
