Homegrown Consultant with 6 YOE and 4 PMYOE. I’ve only ever interviewed for my current company in college and it’s been 7 years. Haven’t had a formal interview for any project I’ve ever been on in this timeframe. Can you provide advice/share experiences on how you look for PM roles and what should I expect when applying for PM roles in interviews?

Have you thought about getting a coach to help walk you through the interview process and become comfortable with it? I did and it really helped my confidence levels.

I second the coach idea, and maybe look at some YT resources for interview prep depending on the company you're applying to (Glassdoor is always an option too for prep_)

I'd like to ask you all this question. I am interviewing right now for lateral associate positions because I've hit a wall at my firm and am eager to leave. I'm a rising 4th year. I want to continue growing and am not necessarily looking for market or the highest pay. Is this a good way to look at things? Consider clients and work experience over comp and name when deciding my move?

Worried that we’ll have the same outcome as before, but also hopeful that *maybe* this will be the one that works for us. Differences vs. last year: had a myomectomy to remove a submucosal fibroid and switched clinics to a RE that I think is great / trust much more than my prior doctor (also had 3 more ERs at this new clinic). Thanks!

Looking for advice.

started a new PM role 4 weeks ago only to realise that the entire PM function is done by various other people inside the department. I have tried bringing up the discussion with my line manager without making it into a complaint (since i’m so new, and i want to be flexible) but i’m getting the impression that even my manager doesn’t know what a PM is or does. (He asked me if the roadmap should sit with the scrum master amongst other comments)

Thoughts of approach?
