Hello SM/SD bowl - what are you doing to get your team utilized?

My current clients are on a budget freeze until Sept/Oct which is delaying pursuits I was projected to close this month. Not so worried about my numbers yet but I want to keep my team doing meaningful work. I’m in a small practice and no immediate engagements as others are also pushing out expected win dates. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?
