Hey all! Struggling to actually get into a PM role. I’ve got 4 years of project management experience in a BA role and currently working as a manufacturing planner for Lockheed Martin. I have my MBA,PMP, CSM and I’m trained in green belt lean six sigma. I’ve had a couple interviews that went three rounds. But told i didn’t have agile experience. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated

Where have you applied? I have no degree, no certs, but in my experience, they didn’t care about that and just looked at my YOE (10). This isn’t a brag but I really believe it’s largely dependent on what industry you’re applying to. So if you’re getting rejected bc of no agile experience, then perhaps look at industries that don’t even require that which may mean looking outside tech.

What about PM roles at Lockheed’s competitors? 😅

Have you thought about DASM Cert? Not the best answer but it’s an option. It’s sucks that you have those creds and exp but they’re so worried about Agile. Most “traditional” projects are agile in some way anyway.

Yeah. Maybe look into LinkedIn Learning or PMI options for DASM or even Scrum would maybe apply / be more fiscally achievable. The. You can at least show training and knowledge of how to apply principles

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon.

I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.
