The job market seems rough out there. Makes me appreciate having stability, even if this isn't my dream gig. Anyone else reassessing their career goals lately?

Dream gigs are fallacies, as one day it will end in you leaving or being asked to leave. What people really want are dream lives. PMM can still create a path to a dream life, even in this market. Don’t balk at PMM because the market is tough, keep holding the line.

I'm not looking to change anything at this time. I have hope of advancing my career in this field. My attitude toward changing jobs is that I will ride the horse I'm on until it drops, I drop, or it throws me. If the first or third happens, I'll pick myself up, dust myself off, and look for another horse. Of course, if the second happens I won't have to worry about it.

This is one of my favorite analogies for life. Control what you can control, but take everything in stride. The good times don’t last forever so enjoy what you’ve got, and look for the next thing when it inevitably comes to an end.

I’ve been thinking about shifting into a PMM role and very curious about what makes it not your dream gig? I’m always curious to hear the ‘not so great sides’ of a role!

Yeah. I’m figuring out what adjacent areas/niches/job titles I can work in *just in case*

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke.
