Hi All, I am a project manager with 10 years plus of financial services experience including few years in consulting as a Program/Project manager. In addition, I have PMP and Agile certifications. I have been in my current consulting role for about 4 years now and looking for a change. Any help with referral would be really appreciated, hope to get in touch with someone thru this platform. Thank you

If you go for project management jobs, hit hard on the finserv expertise as your differentiator and signal in your resume that you can speak the language/understand how financial sector operates.

Unfortunately project management as a discipline in itself is on the way out and there’s a lot of competition for the roles that are out there.

What do you suggest for consultants lookin for Project management type roles to develop a differentiating factor? I am thinking about pivoting into data scienece... any other routes? I ask for this as I realized fierce competitions in traditional project management type of roles as too many people out there trying to get in

Understand that there are a lot of factors to compensation, but could anyone comment/estimate what the typical comp would be for someone with OPs credentials? Been thinking if I want to get into the project management space myself

Thanks everyone for your feedback

I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
