Hired to lead and develop a new PM dept and work on internal projects. 2 months into the job I was told the role would be switching and I'll be working on client work and not one PM processes have be accepted/approved from anyone including the person who hired me, stating its not how things are done.

Had a recent convo and it looks like the team actually just wants secretaries instead of actual PMs.

I'm so tired of the bait and switch jobs

I feel like every agency is doing this. Tell you one thing to get you in the door, then change the requirements/expectations once you're there. It's shitty leadership and I'm over it.

I had final round interviews last week for the company I really want to work for. I have an offer from another company, which I communicated to the recruiter which expedited the interview to final rounds. I need to respond to the other company's offer letter soon. Should I follow up with the hiring recruiter for the company I want an offer from? Or just move on if I haven't heard back by end of this week?

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?
