I aspire for leadership and management roles , but keep hesitating due to all time increasing hustle , unrealistic availability demands, looking for some ground reality and what to expect , and how much financial gains changes from a senior technical role to a technical leader or manager or product manager roles ! How does the work life balance changes. What are the sacrifices I should be ready to make for these positional or financial gains ..is it worth it if you are a parent !

Experienced Manager is where you want to stop or exit. Directors have a sales quota, PMO responsibilities and are very underpaid for doing partner work. Plus most of them get stuck there so they are doing lots of work for not much more pay than managers.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
