Your PM is a clown. I’ve been PMing for well over a decade, and I can count on one hand the number of times someone on a creative team proactively asked me for prioritization guidance. You deserve better!

like

True that they can “all be a priority”...but it’s your PM’s job to guide you on which *things* need to get worked on first. Doesn’t need to be entire projects fighting for your attention, your PM should come to you with a plan for executing that day (or hour!)

Tell them you’re not working on any of them until they figure it out. Go to your CD, if s/he is good, they’ll back you. Make them choose

That's a bad PM. If everything's a priority, nothing is.

Sounds like your PM sucks. Not only do I help the creatives on my team with managing hot items, they willingly ask.

I recently got a job offer from a company I used to work for that has a great work/life balance and culture but has a slower track to get promoted. My current employer has a not great work/life balance but it’s much easier to get promoted. Currently 5 years into my career currently bouncing between a project lead and a discipline manager… it’s a decent pay bump- 30%. But is it worth giving up the future potential advancements ?

These folks are seniors as well. Partner looks to me to provide a status update, and all I can say is in process.

Im currently trying to switch from the RE finance industry to tech as a project manager. My current title is project manager w/ 4yrs experience and over 10 years of transferable skills. Ive also recently obtained my CAPM. In my current job I dont feel as if Im gaining any of the project management skills. Considering everything I’ve had to learn. My company does not use any PM softwares. For someone in my position would a salary range of $80-$90k be considered too low, or too high?
