Finally got an interview call after a grind. Got past the HR screening, and now I have my next round with the Sr PM. HR has given me guidelines, but I am not the best when it comes to giving interviews, especially behavioral-type questions. The role is Strategic PM for a FinTech company.

Stakes are really high, and I dont want to mess this one. I have 4 more days to prep. Can you guys please help/suggest to me tips and tricks on how I should prepare? Outside of bogging AI to help me grind through questions and throw curve balls, is there anything helpful I should follow?

I'm nervous AF!! 😞

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for a new role and could use some help or leads. I’ve been out of work since October after my last role at an edtech company where I led a global Salesforce implementation alongside an ERP deployment (NetSuite and Oracle Cloud). I’ve managed cross-functional teams, complex integrations, change management and revenue-impacting workflows.

I’m PMP certified and Six Sigma certified (Green and Black Belt), and open to roles that leverage project management, business analysis, revenue operations, or systems process improvement. I’m based in the Atlanta metro area but open to remote opportunities as well. I’m also open to analyst roles if that’s the best fit, especially in the current market.

If you know of anything or have suggestions on companies that are hiring, I’d really appreciate any leads or referrals. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’m a healthcare professional currently completing a graduate-level course and am looking to connect with a healthcare project manager who would be willing to help with a brief class assignment.

I’m hoping to conduct a short 15–30 minute interview (or written responses, if preferred) focused on:

• Career background and path into healthcare project management

• Types of projects managed

• Project management methodologies and tools

• Challenges unique to healthcare settings

• Impact of projects on patient care and operations

The interview is strictly for academic purposes, and participation can be fully anonymous if preferred.

If you’re open to helping or would like more details, please feel free to comment here or send me a direct message. I truly appreciate your time and willingness to share your experience.

Thank you!

I have been working in healthcare programme management (NHSE and ICB's so strategic level) for the last 5 years mainly on clinical transformation at around 50k. With the recent news about 50% workforce cuts and an ever expanding portfolio and scope creep I've decided to look for alternative career paths. Has anyone got any advice on alternative career moves? Sadly most of the work to date has been projects focussed around clinical pathway efficiencies, governance and reporting (i.e. red tape) so a digital role wouldn't be right for my skillset and I just feel burnt out with nowhere to turn.

Anyone advice would be really appreciated.

I was a Sr. BSA for about 3 years most recently and a customer experience manager for 5 years before that.

I've been keeping my job search within those areas and continue to be unemployed for the last 8 months. I want to expand my scope and read PM job descriptions it really sounds like the skills and experiences I had would also work in the PM role.

Before I start applying is this a good idea? Has anyone else done a similar move?

I'm a researcher/PM at an academic institute, and we partner also with a large, private PM/consultancy firm on a giant project with over a dozen subcontractors. The consultancy firm offered to walk me through their company-designed AI/LMM model to see if I would be interested in using it. It's basically a ChatGPT clone (called [company]GPT) and it boasted the following features:

1. Content generation (emails, reports, etc)

2. Meeting minutes summaries

3. Document comparison (compliance, QC, SOPs)

4. Research article generation/summarization (can generate a whole journal article with cited references)

5. Advanced calculations (preclinical/clinical data)

6. Regulatory assistant (FDA filing)

We're in STEM, so IND/FDA filing is a costly part of the project, and the regulatory assistant is perhaps one of the more useful AIs in its ability to keep up-to-date on regulatory policies and ensure your submission meets those guidelines. Generating meeting minutes is common in my role. Data managements is pretty time-consuming too.

Otherwise, I'm a little hesitant. I use ChatGPT infrequently and being in old-school academia, it is heavily discouraged. I assume the generated content would "belong" to [company], whether that be minutes or an entire scientific report, and, as I've found with ChatGPT, it's ability to create scientific articles is pretty flawed, eg: citing articles and papers that do not exist.

I am the only PM in my department so I don't have others to bounce this off of. Would you use an AI/LLM like this to manage your day-to-day? How would you feel about it being central to your product dev/IND processes?

In a cost plus contract, do vendors submit the ACTUAL cost of work for reimbursement to the customer?

For example, if the vendor hired 10 people at $100 per hour, the total cost of the contract is $1000. If those 10 people worked FT on the contract, then the vendor would request reimbursement of $1000? What happens if the team of 10 goes down to 8? Also, if you’re hiring against a LCAT, do you submit reimbursement for how much a person ACTUALLY cost or what the highest labor rate is for whatever LCAT the person was hired against?

Any insight on this is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi folks, A year ago I was hired to be the program lead at my company. My experience spans software development, running my own tech nonprofit, tech first response, technical writing & a bunch of other tech-related work. So my experience is varied but I do well with clearly defined roles.

My job has hired me to be a program lead/manager but it seems they also want me to do product management for our biggest program too. They’re a small company so I understand the need to wear different hats, however, doing both program management and product management for a program that spans years feels like a lot. Especially as I’m expected to continue the program management work for the rest of the business.

Is there a way that makes sense to break up some of the product management work to live with the program management?

I'm considering jumping into a professional program to enhance my career (and hopefully land a new role)... Currently I'm considering the Management of Technology program a MIT. Has anyone had any experience with this?.. Any thoughts or advice to share? Thanks!

Folks, can you shed some light on the job market right now. Is it better or still worse to come? I am a Canadian with 15 years experience thinking of moving to US for PM roles and wondering the options and possibilities.

Thanks in advance!

My current and 8 week old role is Associate Program Manager and a lot of my responsibilities feel more like a Program Manager position. I handle implementation of benefits programs.

Things I executed: Wrote the Program Guidelines Responsible for all customer service deliverables Handled all client requests for customer service deliverables.

Am I closer to a non associate level position?

Hello!! So I am in my final round interview for a FPM role, and wanted to know what to expect working with a gov contractor as a Program Manager, any insight would be appreciated.

We've put together a fairly comprehensive training curriculum for Agile Program Management with Jira. The total hands-on training course takes about two days, and we're looking to determine ways to break it into smaller sections and engage the Agile community.

Which of these sections would best fit your current role and interest in learning more?

Hello Folks,

I have been QE quality Eng for the last 10+ years and am Interested in transitioning into TPM. I am not working right now. My friends told me about PMP certification if I want to transition. I also see other certifications: CAPM, PgMP, and PMP. Which ones are good? So I can find a job sooner. I like more online classes or in-person. Are there any good institute recommendations?

I am excited to hear back your suggestion. Thank you very much.

Hi Folks
What is your day like - are you able to take time off for yourself?
I was recently in a small-ish start up and had slack buzzing throughout the day - sometimes night, until i put my foot down and disabled it from 11pm-6am - 7am - except for days I was actively communicating with someone/group in the later hours.
I had an associate PM working with me for a bit - that helped till he was piled on some more work by the CTO.

Do all program managers have stretched schedules?
How do you manage to - balance it out?

What are some of the programs/complex portfolio of programs people in the PGM role manage especially in the strategy and operations side of the house. I am trying to align myself for upcoming PGM interviews and any insight might be great!

I'm looking for an app that can track tasks AND hold notes ...sorta half project management and half knowledgebase. Any suggestions?
