Associate Director of PM comes after Sr PM here!

like

AD or D is pretty common after that.

Skills to focus on to get to the next level:
- Try to find Opportunities to manage or Mentor Junior project managers
- Create new tools or processes and then Implement them, to demonstrate your leadership capabilities.
- Keep trying to take bigger, more complex, higher-value projects and crush them.
- Foster your personal brand and reputation: network, create coffee opportunities for you and people above you who are decision-makers. Get on their radar. Try to write blog posts or find conferences to speak at. Get yourself out there and stay active. That will show that you're invested and interested in your own growth and the growth of others.

Associate Director is the most common title you’ll likely find. And, those positions are rarely posted - they are often filled from within with someone promoted into the role.

Other titles to look for include Executive Producer, Program Manager / Director.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
