Quick PM gripe. Does anyone else find it annoying to not get credit for anything? Used to it by now. But sometimes, damn. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone up for grabbing drinks in DC/NoVa this Saturday? 35M and married, just looking to meet some like minded people in the area. Never really had a lot of local friends (thanks to work travel) and the pandemic hasn’t made it any easier.

Hello,
So giving my scenario and asking to you where is my fault in this.
First the company came to our campus giving the JD for Marketing.
While withing the first round of interview they changed it to SAP domain.
I got recruited as I was a fresher.
Then once I got my offer letter they have alloted me to Oracle.
I thought all of my batchmate are going to functional side, I will be with them.
Then they send me to Technical Oracle domain., which comprises of coding and all.

Looking for ideas on how to handle the following: 10 attorney firm. Founding partner in his 80s and still comes in. Lately, he has become abusive to staff, angry, and making office miserable. 3 paralegals have complained about his fits.

Not sure how to change/approach this. I’m a junior partner who gets stuck with the fallout, hiring if people leave, and my life is now being made to be miserable too.

This person is not involved in the day-to-day anymore so when they come in, it's chaos.

Anyone here get their CFF? What is the deal with the 1,000 hour requirement? Do I actually need to get my hours exported (showing some mixture of work) for the last 5 years? The instructions are vague.

I litrally started laughing at the end of the interview also I have told them that I have a lot of things to dicuss and tell to them.

Should I jump ship or stick it out?

What are typical hourly billable rates from big 4 for external audit services by role? New York or California.

I think it is ridiculous that PMs are expected to take notes during client calls. The Account team should document client feedback or if the feedback is minimal, the creative team should take their own notes on what changes the client wants. Today an AM said that a new creative was used to the PM giving them notes and micro-managing their time. I told them I don't have the capacity to micro-manage the creative and that we are all adults and could take notes during the call. Am I wrong?

I’m 30 and want to work hard, learn and grow But I also don’t want to feel like a burnt out slave… is going in-house less demanding than agencies? Pros/cons of moving? 😔

How long did it take you to get promoted to a senior PM?

I think I’ve given up on the notion of Project Management and Account Management ever working in harmony.
Creatives, Strategists, Developers are great to work with, collaborative, trusting, etc. But I can count on 1 hand the number of Account folks I’ve enjoyed working with over a long career at many agencies. Anyone ever make the jump to an internal PM role with no client work?

Anyone have a MASSIVELY micromanagey boss? I've had my share but this fella takes the cake. Today I was asked to share my work in progress on some projects work. Even though I said I'd work to have things delivered by the end of the week. I've never shared or ask to see WIP work without context. It's like looking for an excuse to find something wrong.

How do your companies separate Project Management from Account Management? Our marketing agency’s current thinking is to have no Account Managers / Directors, but rather Strategists and PMs sharing in a client-facing role…

Looking to pivot into pm from teaching. Working on the Google PM cert. Any tips for breaking in?

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

What agencies have a good delivery department. Specifically one that does decent training? In my ten years in the industry I don't think I've worked anywhere where professional growth was a real thing

Is anybody using Microsoft Planner for project management? Seems like it can be beneficial since we are on Microsoft for most things.

How does your team identify and track time cards as billable or non billable? Having difficulty with ensuring all our teams work is billed properly and looking for advice on who should decide which category each timecard belongs in without it being someone full time job.

Any tips for PMs who've gone client side. Particularly those who work on digital/interactive work (vs traditional or integrated).

Looking for career advice… currently at a pharma agency but am well tired of the woes that come with it. Currently making 125k and looking to transition to a more technical / internal PM or maybe resource manager role. Has anyone done the switch? How much of a cut did you take?

I’m currently a senior PM for a creative agency and was contacted about a program manager position (with some project manager responsibilities) for a Saas company. Has anyone made a similar switch? Can anyone tell me their experiences working in the saas industry?

For the first time in my career, I am managing a junior PM who reports into me. Any advice for a first time manager? Anything that has helped you become a better mentor?
