I want to get out of the marketing field for a few reasons. 1) I am burnt out. 2) I want to make more money!!! I have been thinking of a project manager for a construction company. All of my marketing jobs come from a male dominated industry. Give me the good, bad, ugly, and what transferrable skills there are if you’ve been this route. TIA!

I would definitely recommend you to shadow a project manager in construction before taking the plunge. I know people who work in construction, and I could never do it. But that's just me. Sometimes I think about getting out of marketing, but I make decent money for the amount of work I have to do. I would certainly try it out before you really invest in it.

Hi everyone. I'm in the process of building a SaaS startup. Someone with SaaS experience has advice on marketing the product for B2B?

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
