What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

Can we get a thread going of Senior Product Designer salaries.

I am currently a contractor and make $65/hr.

At what level at the Big 4 in a high cost area within either advisory or internal audit can you start making 350k base?

Hello fishes,

I recently gave my technical phone screening interview for the role of BA 1 at Amazon it went pretty good was able to answer 90% of the answers but after that I see that my job application shows on their portal shows 'no longer under consideration' although I'm yet to receive any mails from them.

Can anyone tell me what it means have I been rejected or something else.

Thanks everyone

Hi fishes,
My LWD is 18th July and I chose vendor pickup for my assets(expected pickup is 10th July).
Is there any limitation or chances of facing issues on Not having laptop with me(for other exit clearances).
Also it would be great if someone can give guidance on exit clearances as I'm worried that I will miss out something.
TIA.

What would u do? 3 YOE HCOL city and I have 2 potential options:
1) move to a boutique healthcare strategy consulting firm in a similar role as I have now (client facing consulting role).. 120-130 base + 20% bonus
2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.

Hi Everyone,
I know we all are struggling and also thriving in the corporate ladder, however I was kind of wondering if someone could help me with the below details to plan the career better :
Exp. 13.5 Yrs
Industry Segment : Supply Chain Operations and Project Management
Graduation : B.E. Civil and MBA in International Business
What can be the expected CTC in India considering my exp. and academics?
If I wish to switch to other Segment, what is the way to switch to other high paying jobs?

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

Hi Fishes,
Want to know the best practice to put resignation,
Should we inform Manager, HR and client respectively before resigning or do you have different thoughts on it?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Why are a lot of people leaving Accenture? … they reached out to me twice this month 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello fish,

Could anyone recommend any good reading on Capital Project Management. Specifically management side for large projects and best practices on how to align finance, procurement, business PM, construction management, and assurance

What’re associates paid at t2 tech firms for s&o roles with 2-3 yoe? Companies such as doordash, attentive, LinkedIn, bird, Uber. Got an offer at a similar one for 120k plus 20-25 stock year year. Is that low?

For those of you who left the Midwest for a FAANG company like Apple… was the move to CA worth it? Have an opportunity and it’s just really difficult wrapping my head around the cost and standard of living, being far from friends and family, etc.

Anyone with 8+ years of consulting experience exit? Did you have to take a step down when moving to tech? Feel like everyday that I spend in consulting is hurting more and more...

People who pivoted/trying to pivot to PM - what resources did you use/do you recommend? There are some online courses or boot camps that have $1-2k tuition fees - worth it? Which ones are worth it?

I received a technical test for an AI consultant role. I have no idea what the content or how I should prep. is it appropriate to go back to the company recruiter and ask to provide more info?

I'm looking for a cloud business role for exit opportunities. Would anyone have an idea on the growth opportunities with firms offering managed services, resellers, etc? If so what firms should I target? Thank you.

How late is too late to pivot? 1.5YOE and know my interests lie in marketing in the consumer goods space. Unfortunately all project experience is project management/finance in health or media sectors and seems most roles want previous experience

Currently have 2.5 yoe. Saw a role for ‘strategy analyst’ at my dream firm that says 1-2 years of experience minimum. Would this be a backwards move?

Fishes, would you be willing to move to a new company for $20K increase in your base pay? No sign-on bonus and not a target company.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Thoughts on Grant Thornton? Specifically tech advisory in AU? Any tips/insights would be helpful!!!

Switching from consulting to product managment role. Any recs for prep (books, online courses, etc.)? Thank you!!! 😊😊

Do customer success roles get h1B sponsorship? Is that a rome aligned to strategy? Or operations?
