Not a book, but there’s a series of articles online called The Ugly Duckling Trilogy that I appreciate. Parts of it can get a little in the weeds around finance, but for the most part it’s great for further explaining the value of the role. I’ve actually referenced it a bit when selling in/building PM departments.

Lynda.com has a lot of detailed courses. You can sign up for your own paid account. Some companies will have a corporate account or see if your local library has access.

Not a book either, but I just found the Project Management Happy Hour Podcast.l and I’d definitely recommend! The hosts are super genuine and do a great job to stay away from dry content.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

Applied for a position in PWC UK and status shows as 'interviewin' on workday. Does this mean I'm selected for an Interview, or that the position itself is now in the interviewing process.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
