A1’s advice is good, though that'll cover the project management oversight parts of the program manager's job. Program mgmt is just that plus setting up controls to make sure each project is running smoothly, governance, etc. But that's in PMBOK too. Good luck

A1, Funny that you say that. I'm being pigeonholed into learning roles and I don't want to be. I do like the skills I'm gaining in the planning part of this but can't stand the monotonous content development. I'd love to chat fishbowlfish11@gmail.com

OP Why would you leave the fascinating world of human capital for the sake of a PMO role? 😭

Thank you!! I hate to leave, but can't do the lifestyle and I keep getting pigeonholed into things I've found I hate. Maybe one day I'll boomerang!

OP Pigeonholed into Human Capital roles? I went from PMO to Human Capital (specifically learning and development), and I like the skills that I’m acquiring. Drop a burner if you would like to chat more. Good luck!

I've completed technical and managerial round at citiustech. It went well.
I'll have my HR round probably on Monday.
On their application they've said they're accepting only upto 60 days notice period candidates. But I'm having 90 days notice period, if I tell them about this 90 days notice period now in HR round will they understand my situation and select me?
Please guide me I really want to get selected in this company and switch from my current employer.

Had a salary discussion with headhunter, who really lowballed me and told that the employer is not going to pay more than X.
The final interview is scheduled for tomorrow should I be expecting any salary negotiation during the final interview or after or is the number that I informally agreed to with a headhunter is set in stone?
How bad is it if I refuse to accept the offer? Will I be banned from working with that headhunting firm?
