Looking to leave my auditing position with only 3 months of experience... I'm in a relatively small firm, and my manager's micromanaging is insane... Want to go into advisory, any advice is welcome.

Yeah buckle in and keep your head up. You’re 3 months into your first job and probably still on your first manager/project. Look for ways to give your manager assurance that what you’re doing is correct so you can build that trust.

Revisit this thought again at the 6 month and 12 month mark and see how you feel. Should take 6 months to feel like you’re adding value and 12 months to feel like you’re good at being an analyst.

If you don’t want to wait that long, do everything I said above and finish reading Case In Point while you do it.

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.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:

- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
