Some people love PMO. They make a whole career out of it. And even make Partner. Others hate it. I... hate it

I’m on PMO and I thought about quitting the day I got here. ESP in government it’s a lot of pushing papers and months to achieve the slightest bit of progress

What about PMO-BA roles? Feels like most of our roles here are BA and involve some sort of PMO anyway

You can actually learn a lot from SOX

Is PMO valuable experience? Or is it all bitch and secretarial work?

PMO. Kill me. It’s amazing clients pay us for this when they can hire an army of people halfway around the world to just call their employees every hour to ask if they are done yet and what they did in that last hour

Worst kind of work one can do.

PMO is boring af. Business analyst is more interesting

PMO is a skill set you have to have. You also can get on projects with really senior clients which is a great learning opp. The problem is that once you are on PMO projects and do well, it’s hard to get away from it. Sox just sounds miserable.

What is SOX?

Signs I’m getting old: I tripped and fell, and somehow partially tore my ACL. Have to figure out if I want surgery, and how to tell the team—at the very least, I’ll need a ton of PT. I’m a first year associate and the only woman on all of my teams, so I’m freaking out about how this is going to reflect on me. I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.
