I know that many look to exit into Product Management, but I have never seen so many Project Management roles open. When I first got my PMP, it was difficult to find roles unless very senior. What’s going on the Project Management world now that there are so many openings with layoffs and (possibly) an impending recession?

Number of roles, eh... 🤷🏻‍♂️
Quality of roles 👈

Personally, I think a lot of them are trash roles, and not just right now.

If I'm looking for good PM/PgM/Director roles, when I'm digging into the details and interviewing my interviewers, I decline 4 out of every 5 offers I get. And that's after excluding 75%+ of the roles before even getting to an interview.

Weeding through the junk and finding the worthwhile opportunities takes longer as the number of roles out there increases.

1. Most don’t unless it’s mandated by the state
2. This is by design to not give comp intel
3. Title =/ seniority (lots of ic roles with 8+yoe)
4. Shit happens
5. Hard to be specific given everyone is learning/adapting to hybrid
6. What’s wrong with these? I appreciate the honesty
7. It’s by design.. to assess you on multiple fronts (a bad hire is very costly)
8. This is annoying but every big company’s processes still does this
9. We’re all very busy

Just trying to help/lower expectations here..

Now my PMO mainly consulting job doesn’t sound too bad, I’ll take away some useful skills hopefully cause very project and program management based

Oh absolutely. While I’m applying to consulting roles, I’m also getting contacted for Sr. Project Manager roles. This is why I’m not opposed to tech consulting. PM skills are key to change, product, program, and portfolio management.
