What recommendations/guidance would you provide someone interested in switching from account management/client relations to project mgmt? I have heard that the pay can be different - pending on the organization.

What skills are most transferrable? What sort of things do hiring managers/recruiters seek out in the role?

At my company project managers and account managers do the same things. Timelines, budgets, follow ups, status sheet etc. but you get to choose your career path . PM stops at Sr PM, whereas accounts has more career growth into higher management

Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

Has anyone successfully made the career move from an HR specialization to an HRBP role? If so, how? I have been working for 7 years in a very niche HR specialization and while I wear many hats on the HR team, I feel like this is hard to express to recruiters or even get an interview for an HRBP role. My niche area has really burnt me out, as it’s very political and I want to expand my horizons. I am already working on completing my GPHR certification. Any other tips?
