Hello. I'm excited about this 8-month contract that took me 5 monthsoto land. Do you other PMs generally have that much down time in-between PM contracts? How do you deal with this or plan for this?

My current position offered me more money. How do I ask the job I just accepted to match?

I’ve very fortunate to have a new job. I wanted WFH, but I guess it wasn’t in the cards. Do you think people who work from home are that much happier?

Is DC generally more or less safe than Manhattan or Brooklyn?

My dog keeps licking his paws. We think its because of all the salt on the ground from the snow, but getting worried his feet hurt. I am not sure he will like it if we get him shoes, what do y’all think?

Anyone hiring a senior designer?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

What sites/resources do you suggest for job hunting? Esp related to social sustainability. TIA

In how many days, BDO rise give reply to your interview 2nd round? Anyone here from BDO rise here?

Newly minted consultant here looking for financial advice.

So I just moved to consulting after B school, and It's more money than I've made my entire life. After paying for rent and living expenses, I have 6000$ left over every month. My student loan payments are about 1200/month at 7% interest. I still owe another 95K on my loan. I have the option to pay more every month and reduce my overall interest paid.
Currently I put about 3000 towards my loan and 3000 towards my savings. Cont'd...

What's the point of all this research if nobody ever reads it?

So overheard after work:

I left a company a while back and a coworker of mine that also left just informed me that one of the C level execs has an SEC decision against him for embezzling several million.

This was from before I worked there...

Overall, do male or female agents seem to get more work in the real estate sector... and why do you think this is?

I am a construction project manager and have managed very high end 40,000 + custom estate projects. I am looking to do residential development projects as well but need a finance partner. If anyone is interested in partnering for projects please contact me. Projects would be self-performed without the need for a GC and various soft costs.

Does anyone have any side gigs or know of any gig types for project managers? Projects themselves need too much attention to manage on the side of our already busy days.

What does your PM "ladder" look like? What titles do you have at your agency for the project management team?

I currently work on the account management side at an agency and looking for some professional development tools/courses to help our account managers (and myself) with project management skills. Anything you would recommend? I know about Google’s course. Anything else?

Hi All- I’m looking for a super simple time tracking platform to integrate with Asana for a team of 5. All we need it for is to see how much time is going into different projects that our department is managing. That’s it. No billing/invoicing/don’t care about time sheets, etc. We just need the ability to track and pull a report at the end of each month. Anyone have recommendations?

Anyone looking for a PM with a coding/QA background, retail/e-commerce/pharma experience; open to hearing about new roles.

How did you all get your first job in PM? Did you start as a Project Coordinator or PM? I have the skills of a Project Coordinator and would like to just transition to a PM role but it’s been difficult to find junior PM roles.

How do your companies track talent and music usage, are there any good software applications for this?

Any PMs have experience with moving off of Advantage (aka Webvantage aka Aqua) and onto a different PMS? Toying with the idea to suggest a move to Kantata/MavenLink.

Any Publicis PMs go to TBWA\Chiat\Day LA? How was your experience with that transition?

Is anyone looking for a Remote PT Project Coordinator? I am trying to transition from Public Library Management into Project Management. Willing to do a hybrid in South Carolina.

Anyone have their PMP certification? Worth the time and effort? Do you think it’s helped bumped you to a top candidate when applying for jobs?

Pro Tip:
Make it SOP to have a debrief session calendared directly after major meetings, can be 10 mins

Doing some career planning and wanted some advice. I have 4 years for project management experience in production and I just started PMing at an ad agency.

1.How long should I stay in this position before making my next move?
2. What should my next move be?! (Stay in the company and try to scale up or move on.)
3. Would getting my PMP at this point be helpful?

Hi fellow PMs, Question for the group: has anyone here made the switch from being a creative agency PM to a digital producer or digital agency PM? I.e. going from managing creative projects like TV to managing website builds/UX projects. If so, what was the transition like and what helped you get your bearings in the new environment? I’m thinking about making the switch myself but I don’t have a digital background.

Has anyone successfully launched Workfront in a Creative Agency? I’m at a large creative shop that is trying to implement it for the first time. It seem overly complicated. Any success stories?

How valuable or important are scrum skills in the current market?

Any PMs have experience working with HUGE and know if they are remote or going remote full time?

I am an AE moving to a PM role at my agency.

Since I will have the PM title, what is the roadmap for moving to FAANG (or similar) or SaaS digital end to end dev/implementation companies as a Technical PM/Senior PM/Program Manager?

I have 5 YOE in Account Management, 2+ of which are in heavy digital working with Dev, Digital PMs, and client tech/implementation teams.

I also have had some direct experience in PM and will be building those specific skills in my new role.
