Hi everyone! I am working as a Program Coordinator/Project Manager in the business side of a tech company. I am a recent business graduate and have about 1+ yr of experience. I want to move into IT Project Management but don’t have a tech background. Can anyone here help me with what would be the best path forward? Are there any popular certifications I can do? I am halfway through CAPM but not sure if it would add value to break into IT PM junior roles.

Just perform and learn and go above and beyond and the payoffs later will be large! My biggest advice is to come to the table with solutions on project issues vs. just report them… make yourself valuable vs just gathering the group and status…..

I have a lot of student debt from law school. I’ve refinanced a couple of times and received the best fixed rate available, but I’ve seen others refinance with a variable rate which of course is lower. I’ve read some other comments of people refinancing at a super low variable rate....isn’t this risky? Of course I am afraid of going variable and then the interest rates going up a lot. Am I missing something?

Hi all! I am former federal government. I resigned due to lack of opportunities and growth. I am interested in a couple of Apple service roles within Pay, Care and SDS. Also, Amazon PM roles under Music, Live Sports and Brand Protection. However, with to the current economic conditions is it smarter to focus on fed roles versus Tech. I’ve never had a Tech role. I have a BS Mechanical Engineering and MBA. Any advice would be appreciated.
