I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job.

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
