....I am not getting any traction internally to move up. So I am thinking of moving out to move up. Which companies are great at developing IT PM experience? Should I stay in consulting or learn a new technology to private? I also don’t want to be a paper pusher PM, but want to use business and technical acumen in progressing into a PM role.

Isn’t PM a paper pushing role? I’m not sure I have a clear understanding of what you are hoping to achieve and maybe clarifying that narrative with a mentor or career counselor would help

I posted that RPA link☺️...
If you want to differentiate from the pack, you have to specialize in a technical skill for 1-2 years and move quickly into your dream goal of management. Today it is RPA, yesterday it was cloud.

....looking for opportunities, leads and suggestions or tips. Registered to take PMP. What else can I do?

What I mean by that is to not be agnostic to technical details on what is happening in releases. A Scrum Master role, depending on how they’d behave, can be a less paper pushing and more of a technical PM. Help a soul here.

Haha thanks!

Why do you see pm as a promotion? In germany most pm earn less than anyone else. Except you are very knowledgeable and experienced, but by than you could have moved in to management for example..

VP 1
How do you suggest I step into the RPA realm? Are there certifications for it? Join companies that work on RPA. Catch 20-20!

VP 1
Which companies are the big RPA players in the VA/DC area? Not including consulting for RPA type of work.

Thanks, VP1!

VP 1 I had read this before in another bowl. Let’s say if I even get savvy with learning the tools and make myself a SME on RPA, to some extent, that won’t help me go up the ladder. I am looking to progress into a managerial role- managing initiatives. If I go into this level of technology research, I will most likely end up being an Analyst or Consultant again?

By the way, the future 2 years you spend in RPA will be most sought after skill and will open the doors, higher up

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
