Hello fishes, I'm currently working as a Project Manager. I've been asked for a PMO manager role in a different org. Any suggestions if it's a better role to consider?

Both roles are almost same right? What’s the difference in responsibilities?

In my opinion I don't think so. Looks like it slightly differs in each org. In my current org, it seems to be 1 or 2 levels higher role. Nevertheless it might vary in other org. I'm not 100% sure though. So I need any inputs if anyone has better clarity on the role.

PMO will more probably act as central repository & process disposition.. You can get projects also sometimes but mostly it will be on org procedures , templates and resource management.. So get to know the scope from the team..

I have this partner who doesn’t enjoy working with me because I do below avg work for her but she has little choice of foot soldiers. I do below avg work for her because she consistently gives me little time to do huge tasks (and usually at odd hours) and doesn’t involve me in what finally goes to the client (and I have no visibility on the client’s expectations, response, feedback, expected timeline). How do we (mainly I) get out of this painful cycle?

Any thoughts on Sidley's London office? How sharp elbowed are the associates and how much do partners genuinely try and help you develop a career? Bonus points if you can provide insight on how the corporate and finance departments work with specialists on transactional matters. As a final ask, are they genuinely into D&I and flexible working efforts or is this predominantly lip service? Thanks in advance!

Does a good PM need to specialize in a type of product?

I've heard a number of times that PM is a discipline where skills are agnostic of what needs to be built/sold, but I'm having a hard time understanding how domain expertise can possibly be viewed as anything short of career defining for a PM. The notion that someone would be equally effective as a PM at Google vs Ford vs Netflix regardless of degree of experience in ads vs automotive vs media feels very wrong to me.
