What’s the best way to make it to PPMD? I am in PMO and wanted to know if this could lead to a more Project Manager role. I just joined the firm and on my first project.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated 😀

someone sold the client the project u r working on. that’s what they mean.

Focus on your first promotion and more achievable short term goals - you’ve got plenty of time to learn what you enjoy and what you’re good at.

What are your skills and expertise on? Generic PMO knowledge wont get you anywhere, you would be tasked to manage projects for other people who are the experts. If you can become a Subject matter expert on something that has more value in my opinion

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.
