How can I transition back to production? Been stuck in a glorified project manager role for 2 years. Previously I’ve worked as a producer on projects for google & airbnb. Advice on how to move back?

I had a similar situation, being on the client side for 3+ years. I don’t have the clear answer, but I can say it’s how you brand yourself and communicate your skill sets. Get your website and LinkedIn aligned with the path you’re looking to take.

Ie: highlight the specific components of projects that would be relevant for a recruiter looking to fill a role you might want.

Good luck!

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance? Figured I’d be looking for an exit soon, but this just pushed it up.
