There is lots of opportunity in implementation. I’ve seen many who came from a technology that was fading into implementing others different tech as a great Project Manager/Delivery Lead. I think as long as you are moving up the chain you are ok - there will always be implementations to do/run.

If you are a developer/architect and aren’t learning new tech your days are numbered...

As C1 said, it depends what. Implementations for a wide breadth of technologies ie public clouds is great experience. Implementations for a very specific technology ties into a lot of others ie Splunk, SNOW, Mulesoft isn’t bad either. If only one very specific tech, then yeah. You could get trapped in it. Depends on your preference. Some peeps like to do just one thing and do it really well too. Just limits your options.

Agreed with the above. I was performing implementations for a specific software in real estate. I found myself pigeon holed. I decided to make the move to a larger firm so I can get more exposure to other technologies and diversify my knowledge base. I know several colleagues who like one system and being really good at that. But they also have a slower salary growth. Really just a personal decision

I believe implementation project managers are in a great position for growth as long as they quickly adapt and always are teaching themselves new skills.

Depends on what, but IMO it’s a good way to pigeon hole yourself

Yeah. If you’re doing say SAP implementations, it’s really hard to get out of SAP. If you’re doing AWS, it may be a little easier

So I have dabbled in stocks for 10 years but always a small amount. Since last year I have gradually raised the amount and have made significant profits ( 40k last year n 160k+ this year so far).

I have 10+ years of experience and have studied at a top 10 US b-school. Thoughts/suggestions?
