"Leave BT by the end of the fiscal year."...kidding, but not really.

Yeah, goals in a system have very little to do with advancement. Most staff could have the same 3-4 general goals based on their level and have very different performance.

In general, things to work on would be consistently leading client fieldwork and status meetings, project management (PBC, work completion, budget), first level review of workpapers

Help desired from anyone who made the switch into tech for product management or product marketing management:

Currently an Account Manager/Project Manager at PR Comms agency (1yr) and want to make the switch back to tech.

I have sales (both tech + retail), marketing, social media and account management experience (5 yrs total additional exp). I’m finding I’ll need a PMP or a Product Management cert to “have more experience” to get back in.

Any advice from those who got into tech for PM/PMM?

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.

Thoughts?
