I would vote PM over production. Someone always needs a project manager & that’s every industry. Production roles are enveloped into project management at most companies.

MANY years ago Production >>> PM
Both good & bad. Miss being closer to content creation and applying my version of creativity. LOVE the planning, management, puzzle-solving.

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR.

But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?
