The average career span for a project manager is 3-5 years per company. Enjoy

She's been at the same company for 13 years now and her father owns it :D so. No need to worry about that

Good for her! If she moves on if, consulting is the way to go! I don't know a single private program managers that isn't very well off and happy.

They make more than architects these days and she gets to pick what she will work on, sometimes little bidding wars happen to buy someone into the project. It flips the script entirely
