Hi, I’m looking to pivot into a different role! Currently I am a PM at a construction company but I’d like to open my own company and get into real estate development. Eventually I’d like to do both commercial and residential, however I know the field is very competitive and I have to pay my dues. With that being said, does anyone have any recommendations for me on what the next best step would be? Would an MBA be helpful? Or any other role that might be a good stepping stone? Thank you!

An MBA isn’t necessarily required for you to start your own company. Do you have a degree now?

I really appreciate your feedback on this! I’ll continue to do my due diligence and try to find an organization and or individual in which I can learn hands on from them, the ins and outs. I’ve been thinking about and MBA not necessarily for the education but the networking capabilities it gives me. I’ll see what I’m able to do in the next year or two and then think about an MBA. Thank you again!!

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

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

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
