How easily do project managers/DPMs make the switch from agency to in-house? Are there comparable roles? I’ve been told it’s often hard making the switch given that brand managers on client side often handle similar responsibilities of PMs agency side. If the current day to day is primarily around budget / resource management, workflow and process development, financial oversight of actual and planned revenue, would a comparable role in house be more based on operations? Would love thoughts!

Have some down time now and want to learn something 'foundational' - not latest trends or just an overview. Do you have any recommendations on what can someone who has been in IT consulting in payer/provider for 5 years can learn? Like a short college course or a Coursera certification? Anything?

Currently in consulting where I get to do data visualizations sometimes but not always, have an opportunity to shift to a data analytics focused role.

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program? I’ve been here for 4 years and I’m thinking of obtaining my Master’s in Organizational Leadership, but I feel like with this merger, if I started the program and then there are layoffs or too many new hires, or work just becomes overwhelming, I wouldn’t be able to complete my program. I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!

CAIA vs CFA?

I am a Reliability Maintenance 3P contractor for Amazon. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering on June 2022. I’ve been working with Amazon for a year, but there’s a lack of prospective EE positions within the company. The job postings I see are either less or barely above my current salary. I’m not sure if staying longer is beneficial for my future career as an Electrical engineer. I plan on getting my FE license within the next 6 months. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Salary recommendations for a Senior PM role at one of the top global creative agencies? I have 10+ years of experience in-house and agency-side. I’m going to assume long hours (at least some of the time) and probably a difficult client.

Make it SOP to have a debrief session calendared directly after major meetings, can be 10 mins
