I am a project manager with the strong desire to transition into product management but I’m feeling a little discouraged. Every opportunity I come across mentions 7-10 years experience. I just started training for the Google UX certification with hopes that may better prepare me. Any other suggestions? Words of advice on how to best make this transition?

Thanks in advance!

Just a question for those here. What does anyone see as a job outlook for a pharmacy technician that has 15 years of experience and is studying for the CPhT? I would like to return to 100% remote work and, understandably, most job postings that are about my caliber are requiring the cert. I am thinking of possibly pivoting into an IT job that would be fully remote later on down the road, but I’m interested in seeing what is possible now (and an average pay) for someone with my experience.

My wife is looking to get into her first Project Management/Project Coordinator role and doesn't have any direct experience, but does have a CSM cert. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers for her?

Hi y’all! Hope this is the right bowl to post this question and get advice. I am dealing with an employer that preaches our values. The owner states that the values are important to her etc yet my manager violates these values and is involved in unethical behavior frequently. Example 1: My manager has told specialists (resourcers) that she will pay them under the table in order for her (manager) to get full credit vs splitfor the placement and therefore (barely) hit her target for the quarter.

I got 2021 CFA level 1 materials from Kaplan last year. Am I okay using that to study if I plan on taking the test in February, or do I have to plan on buying new materials again?

Do I have enough time to pass the L1 CFA if I take it in February? Haven’t started yet.

Thoughts on computer based vs paper based? I’m taking L1. Time being shorter def sounds like a plus. Are we gonna be the collateral damage of a fresh experiment lol?

Planning study schedule to take L1 in Feb, any recs on resources?

Any experience with test prep providers? Any thoughts on Mark Meldrum or Schweser?

Taking L1 on December 5 (if it’s not cancelled before then). I’m extremely nervous & do not feel ready at all. Any advice on how to make the most of this last month?
