Survey — from a freelance PM perspective, if both are offering the same hourly rate, which one would you pick Biolumina or The Bloc?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

I left an omnicom agency for a Publicis one. My new benefits cost me 250 a paycheck (medical, dental, vision) for my spouse and kids. At omnicom it was 630 per check. That’s fuckin robbery right there.

I have a experience of 3 yrs as a Quality Analyst and 1.5 yrs as a Business Analyst. Also I am about to complete a PG program in Data Science and Business Analytics and now I'm seeking opportunities as a Data Analyst. CTC in my previous job was 5.3lakhs.
How much CTC should I expect in my switch as a Data Analyst or rather according to the market standards what should an ideal CTC be for a person with my experience.

How much does title matter down the road? I’m a Manager now but was offered a Senior Analyst role with much higher pay. Any repercussions of this? Afraid of working backwards...

Has anyone here gone from PM to Resource Management or vice versa? There seem to be a lot of resource management jobs out there, but they seem more monotonous than managing projects. What is the career trajectory for a RM?

Pro Tip:
Make it SOP to have a debrief session calendared directly after major meetings, can be 10 mins

Digital/digitally-savvy PMs, can I pick your brains? I’m up for a Sr. PM position at a creative agency working mainly w/tech clients. My background is more print based, especially the last couple years. When I was working in digital, it was very straightforward (mostly static/animated banners with a little bit of social). Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!

Does anyone have any side gigs or know of any gig types for project managers? Projects themselves need too much attention to manage on the side of our already busy days.

What does your PM "ladder" look like? What titles do you have at your agency for the project management team?

Has anyone joined the new "Women of PM" community?

Wondering how it might be different from the Bureau of Digital or DPM communities an if it's worth the fees.

I might need a freelance PM w/ creative resource experience or just a creative resources manager. Mid to senior level. Fully remote but must work CA hours.

If you might be right, DM me your LinkedIn link?

For anyone going temp-to-perm or anyone who already has, did you negotiate anything into your temp contract about revisiting the option for perm? ie, say, in 6 months, discuss perm options? Thanks!!

Any Publicis PMs go to TBWA\Chiat\Day LA? How was your experience with that transition?

Hi everyone! Were there or are there any systems you were expected to be well trained in coming into your role? Thanks!!

Anyone have good examples of how senior leadership supports project teams during crunch periods (especially if they created the situation)? Trying to articulate specific behaviors that will help our PMs not end up being the “deliverer of bad news” that ppl have to work overtime, especially if the same PMs already advocated for their teams in convos with senior leads.

Would it be out of line during interviews to ask about agency revenue/growth or account health/trends?

Hi friends — anyone using Deltek for PM software? My org is pretty deep in onboarding into it but I’m feeling unsure. Would love some takes — hot or otherwise 💅✨ also TGIFFFFFF
