What's something about your role that people don't understand? As a Program Manager, people tend to think I'm a higher-level project manager. Actually I'm more of a strategist and leader. How about you?

I can understand the confusion. To me program managers are often higher-level project managers:
• Program managers oversee a group of related projects (a program) to achieve long-term strategic business goals, focusing on ROI and organizational alignment.
• Project managers focus on delivering a specific, time-bound project within budget and scope.
• Program managers are generally more senior, managing project managers rather than individual tasks.

Thanks for that. I wish I had project managers, I'm doing it all!

A year ago I moved to an HCOL area to accept a new position, however, I do not go into the office daily. I just go whenever my team needs to be in office. Was wondering has anyone moved out of an HCOL area to save money on rent and was it frowned upon when your firm found out? With inflation and rent going up I’m considering moving 3 hours away where rent is half the cost I’m paying now.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?
