A few ideas:
- Law school, then lawyer (but obviously expensive)
- Move over to producing
- Start up a freelance business maybe specializing in celebrity and music negotiations
- Go talent agent side

Those are ones I can think of where skills would be more transferable. But you could also completely reinvent your career and go a totally different path. But might have to start at the bottom again.

Program Management or Operations Management or Contracts Management… Or same thing but different industry (biz affairs in tech, etc specializing in talent and or music or film or tv…)

I work with a junior PM who is not performing. Not my report, we share a mgr, but as a senior PM I lead the product. He can’t finish anything, needs a lot of coaching, I give him 2h/wk but I can’t afford more.
After 2mos I raised it to our mgr who promised to work with him. 2 more mos passed, mgr talked to him only once, no change in perf. I think mgr doesn’t want to deal with the problem. Now they ask if I want to manage JPM. It is going to be a ‘no’ but I want to ask some advice on all this.
