Hi everyone. I come from delivery/project program management background and am trying to pivot to data & analytics. I know I will never be as good as other technical folks in this field but I know I can more than manage delivery and PM work. Do Managers/SMs in D&A typically have a strong data background? Trying to see what kind of skills I should be focusing on to make this pivot. Thanks.

I worked as a technical PM for a medium-sized adtech company in NYC in charge of 2 technical teams, and the business intelligence team.

On Thursday I was informed by the lead PO and HR that leadership had decided that the project management office was no longer necessary for the company and all three of us, the director and the two technical PMs, were being let go. None of us were given any notice.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.

Hi all,
