@MBB. We all know that you work on strategy projects. Can someone provide insight /examples of the work? Getting sick of PMO and thinking about trying to make a change.

They do PMO too, and if you got hired there that's probably what you would end up doing also (not the strategy work)

Interesting that everyone else likes to speak for us.... lol. Haven't done a PMO case yet after three years. Strategy is just as broad a term as implementation. It really varies. In the past few cases I have done customer segmentation strategy, customer journey strategy followed by a journey re-design, and go-to-market case. I tend to do more marketing/sales/pricing/front of the house strategy. This is likely very different experience than a peer who is more on the corp dev or operational side of strategy.

I have done lots of operational transformation work (i.e. let's change how we do things to realize big productivity and cost savings) super operational, been to some amazing places around the world, and it's challenging (and rewarding). Haven't done PMO, but we do sell that kinda work when our clients ask for it

Plenty of PMO at MBB

You will forever do PMO once you do too much of it.

LoL love folks speaking for us in the earlier comments. Zero PMO in my career. Examples of work: Buy/ No Buy of several niche firms for diff clients, growth strategy for fortune 50, private equity portfolio sell offs, spins offs, tunraround strategies and more

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?

My best friend took a year off work and just traveled around South America with just a backpack and duffle bag of essentials. He spent about $5 to $10 a night at local hostels and food costs cheaper at local restaurants and shops. He spent roughly $500 a month on room and board. Aside from activities like bungee jumping or live sports events, most of the other activities costs little to nothing. Debating on saving up and just escape for a bit just like that.
