Hi all,
I joined KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.
I am unable to figure out what can be done now.
Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)
How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.

I didn't take any certification courses when I switched from project to product management. I got my start in product by taking a product management internship (and a huge paycut) and then worked my way up from an intern -> associate product manager -> product manager. Everyone's journey is different, but I'd recommend considering entry level product jobs or product positions at smaller companies where you can get product experience by entering a less competitive company.
From what I have seen in my career, certifications don't mean much. It's the experience you have in your role that really makes a difference in helping you land your next role.
Are you looking for a role in project management or product management? Feels like you are using the terms interchangeably.
I agree. Project Management certifications will not help you land a Product Manager role. As others have stated, reach out to PMs or POs in your organization for information or guidance. You should also consider joining the WIP (Women in Product) FB group and Becoming WIP on Slack. The University of Washington's business school has a geat product management center and program.
*certs, sorry for the typo.
Basically, I feel like I’m set up for failure in my current role and desperate to get out. Any recommendations for additional courses or certifications I can take for a successful pívot?
You can obtain your CSPO and/or SAFe certifications, but that's only one piece of the puzzle. Your resume must reflect skills that are transferable for the PM role, and you need to be prepared for PM interviews. Check out Diego Granados on YouTube and LinkedIn. His content is amazing. Via his LinkedIn page, you'll find other experienced PMs who are helping aspiring and current PMs.
What’s your current role ? May be easier to transition internally. You need to build a business case for yourself.
Can you meet with pms within your org and help them with anything just to gain some experience/knowledge? I think finding pms to chat with will be helpful. I don’t think an additional cert is necessary but there are lots of free courses online as well as YouTube channels that could help you break in.
