So I worked on a project in 3 hours. I needed to turn a .Net webservice into a service listening gateway API. My manager with zero clue in the technical department called weak and lazy. That hit me hard and I briefly thought of resignation. I actually believe that someone to be a manager in the tech circle they need to have at least a capsule of knowledge of the work. Otherwise people will last less in these tech companies

If you start as a Program Manager, how/when do you begin to advise people as a people lead? I’ve heard Program Managers are not people leads. I started lead a team of 3 about a month ago at my current job and don’t want to lose leadership experience but have been told my YOE would map to a Program Manager level at Google.

Please feel free to post any question regarding any firm - we all understand how daunting it can be leaving your comfort zone and join another firm - I am sure there must be someone in the community who can advise you on your potential new role. Please invite others to this bowl if you know they are in a similar situation!

Questions about job hopping-
My average tenure at a company is ~1.5 years (with ~11 YOE), but each jump I've made has yielded progressive/tangible career growth.

I'm concerned after my most recent jump (went from a product director to a head of product position at a different, smaller company after only a year) that I've kind of poisoned future career prospects at larger companies.

Any insights on whether this type of job hopping is a complete deal breaker for potential HMs?

Best consulting firms for PE work (CDD,Value Creation)? Looking for the best firm for exit ops to PE ops eventually. Thanks!

I am a 2nd year associate at a plaintiff’s firm specializing in toxic tort cases (individual). I’ve had the opportunity to be third chair on a trial, and will likely be second chair in an upcoming trial. However, given the track record of the firm and the amount of money at stake in each case, I am afraid I won’t get any first chair experience, if any, for at least another 5-7 years. I am considering staying at the firm but trying to get trial experience through side Pro Bono work. Thoughts?
