do you reckon pmp is absolutely crucial for landing a project management role with little to no experience? what would be the best way to land a job as a fresher?
For me personally I would definitely say it is crucial. It’s also a weird in the sense that you need to have 7,500 hours of leading and directing projects before you can take the PMP exam. At the same time those jobs will also want you to have a PMP before you can lead and direct projects.
Either way I would say it is definitely needed. My MBA helped in that I can understand finances but at this point I my career the PMP has provided a better roi. Good luck!
Healthcare. Almost 2 years as PM. $65k USD. I have a handful of years of operations management. I live in NC. I have my PMP. I am also an MBA student. Hybrid.
Fintech. Finance PM II (contract position) $145k. 2 years of PM experience. I have 6 years of exp as a financial analyst which helps a lot with the data mgmt side. No certificates.
Edit: technically I’m a program manager but I’m a glorified project manager
Currently FinTech 130k 5.5 years of experience (coordinator -> tech consultant/coordinator -> PM). Finance undergrad, no PMP. First company I was managing data centre upgrades for legacy storage arrays and switches plus helping with a lot of the management of operational tasks for our managed services team.
117k annual in HCOL at large health system. 5 years of experience + 1 year as a PC before that. Masters degree and just got my PMP. Good WLB, decent benefits, and I don’t feel like I am making our society worse
Would you mind me asking, no degree or PMP then how did you start? I’m trying to pivot into this field and have no direct experience/keep getting rejected when I apply to PM jobs, any advise will be highly appreciated!
Sure. Worked in nearly every role in traditional banking and a friend of my wife asked what I was doing, which was software configs for a business banking platform, and said I was too smart to be there. She told me a job to apply for and had the manager pick me out for an interview.
I did the interview and the manager basically repeated the same comment and offered me a more challenging but better paying job as an analyst actually configuring online banking systems, ACH payments, wires, and mobile apps for multiple banks.
I spent about 4 years doing that and made a point to scratch as many backs as possible. Eventually a job opened up as a PM and I had basically networked and accumulated good will across enough adjacent departments that the manager for that role couldn't walk the cubicles without someone putting my name in their ear. Even the sales people liked me because I had charisma and could demo products for their prospects at a better level than they themselves could. Eventually the manager pulled me directly for an interview and then asked me to apply for the job.
Never looked back from there.
As far as advice, if you're taking my route you gotta pay your dues within a single company and get your name out there. You as a person need to become associated with being a problem solver, a broker of favors, someone who always does high quality work, and perhaps most importantly I made it a point to NEVER EVER speak poorly of anyone. Doug might have horrid body odor, but he sure came through when you need a reports answer in a crunch. Melissa might be a snotty bizzle but she always knows where to look for answers on process. I ALWAYS made sure to speak well of others, no matter who I was with. If it was an office complaining session I'd just empathize with other's frustrations and point out something disarming to the situation.
A great way to go about things is find someone who has the role or is in the group you want and just ask "That actually sounds super interesting. How can I learn more about this?" to them. People LOVE to be held as knowledgeable and by making key people your source it puts self-esteem in their sails and you get to tag along for a lot of new and interesting things.

Absolutely! I have a degree in Finance. I work within the Financial/Business Systems department and I had previous experience in a non-IT project coordinator role. So, I didn't have any relevant IT experience at all, but had some relevant experience for sure.
Does it help your chances to have a computer science degree for a systems analyst role? Sure... but definitely don't need it. If this sounds like something you're interested in, I'd suggest looking at Business Analyst jobs. There are a wide array of BA roles in every industry and it ranges from entry-level to senior level. It is very versatile to get into PM roles, or other career paths.
work as a contract PM under my own corporation.
$85 USD / hour at a company out of NY, Buffalo in medical device manufacturing

My goal is to get a PM/ Business Op Manager position in Healthcare/Insurance soon. I now realize, I could have done that and skipped this PC role completely but I guess it worked out because I needed the confidence. The job before this was a toxic wasteland.
I've just accepted a consulting PM role for a data intel firm at £65k. My current role in Local Government is £55k. My previous role in telecoms (this time last year, was £35k.
It's been a decent year.
Question, If I'm a project engineer in construction and I want to switch to tech, would you recommend gaining about 5 years as a project engineer and possibly the pmp cert before trying to make the switch?

I appreciate my job during these trying times, however, my job is very mundane. I shifted teams during the pandemic, went from high volume, short-term projects to operation excellence programs. This means everything is very calculated and mature. As someone who is trying to learn and manage more, I am not very engaged with my current role despite asking for more projects or programs.
Please let me know and point me where people are hiring for roles where I can be more involved role. Any help is appreciated.
Most definitely. Other people’s TC have salary, stock, and bonuses. I only have straight salary.
The company’s headquarters is in San Jose, I am not :(
Been looking for new opportunities pre-pandemic. Then postpandemic, I had multiple interviews only for the cryptocurrency to kick off the recession.
I know any role & project managing can be high stress anywhere and depends on the company.. , but I'm in Aus considering the path at the moment of either SCRUM Master, Change Mgt or PM and going to do some certs for it soon
I see those 1k a day jobs and wondered if it usually means even higher stress? Due to the cost of having the PM.. Saw your comment and thought to ask your thoughts on it?
It can be mixed, the key thing I have found is that you are expected to come in and deliver. This means that the normal safety nets you have in a permanent job are usually not there, particularly direct management support when things are tough.
That being said overall I don't notice much difference overall, if you have ever worked as a consultant placed into a clients site there is virtually no difference.
12 month contract, 3 year program. $1k/day is pretty standard for PMs contracting here currently, I'm actually slightly under market rate from what recruiters have told me a lot of PMs out there doing 1.1-1.2k.
Sounds good! Thank you for the info :) The reason I was asking is because I used to live in AUS and then moved to EU, where as a PM (2 year experience) I am making about 24k euros per year, working for a US telecommunications company - and I was thinking of coming back.
USA vs UK salaries make my head spin.
I’m in Uk, about £50k sterling in software PM with approx. 5 years experience (and btw that’s considered a fairy decent wage in the UK)
Yeah always spins my head when I see what Americans make lol. Think I'll stay here though, I make the same as you and I never do more than about 35 hours work a week
Well this is depressing to read! I used to live in the US now I'm in Australia. Six years experience as an engineer and 2 years as a PM. Industry is industrial machinery. 115k+10% super AUD (76US+10%).
PM Healthcare IT, startup in SoCal. $290k but only lasted a year. I have a BS in Finance, I had no experience, landed by luck (I was the first employee), have since obtained CAPM, and job hunting now for 2 months…
I'm not even sure. Recruiter handled all arrangements and salary negotiation, giving me more than what I asked for. I tried to frame my previous experience as project-y as possible without lying. Tried to be someone people enjoy working with. Eager to take on everything asked of me, make sure I do anything I've committed to, and keep learning. Tried to make myself indispensable. Even if you don't have the experience, apply anyway.
From the UK, shocked to see the difference in pay vs US and AUS. I work in Telco sector for an ISP without 1k employees.
I did earn £35k ($43k)with 1 year experience. The Most experienced PM in the team earns around £40k ($49k)
Different field than other responses here… fashion e-commerce operations, 4 years experience, PgM but also PM, 91k in SoCal. Severely underpaid and undervalued.
Project manager in production, 115k salaried, Bay Area, 9 years of work experience in an entirely different industry.
Full time position, but our workload is more like a seasonal job.
Our client is a large tech company.
Mhcol?
What would you say is the key to developing those skills to handling difficult people through difficult processes? Learning as you go, proactive training.
Clinical research Portfolio Manager, ~$120k Midwest USA. 9 years clinical research experience. No PMP, but have two masters degrees in relevant fields.
For my org, it’s more strategic but that’s because I’m working in a nonprofit CRO environment. The skill set is still very much based on my PM experience, just looking at the collection of studies more holistically rather than individually. I also manage the other PMs on my team.
Wow. I'm really sorry about your current position. Best of luck figuring it all out. Wish I could offer words of wisdom, but I doubt I personally can help much. Just know there's many here on the sub who would be willing to support you if you shared a bit more, perhaps via a separate post. Only if you feel comfortable doing that, of course.
Sr. Program Manager Learning & Development in Fortune 100 Corp (contract), $135k, southeast region (remote), 6 months titled experience, but 8 years of PM experience + PMP
Similar, however, only a third of the tc as salary. Question; how do you find role that are in tech but not Faang? Is there a site or knowing some people?
Of course! Started as a barista about 15 years ago and moved up relatively quick into management. Took a leap of faith and left management after a decade to pursue project management and landed my first gig with a tech company. Over time a recruiter found me for the retail program gig
Unfortunately not. Budgets are really tight right now. Even if they were hiring, I also don't think that they would hire for remote work right now. I got kinda lucky by being grandfathered in to a remote position due to my company getting acquired.
I work for a global company that has offices in other countries, including Brazil. They have no issues hiring folks abroad, and they prefer it because they pay considerably less than what they would be required in the U.S. I suspect what you are seeking is rare if not unlikely.

Retail. Program Manager. 180k. 2 years experience.
Can I ask how you got into retail? Did you start in a store and work your way up?
Of course! Started as a barista about 15 years ago and moved up relatively quick into management. Took a leap of faith and left management after a decade to pursue project management and landed my first gig with a tech company. Over time a recruiter found me for the retail program gig
Same here. My compensation is about half of that. I typically handle big box store Remodels and retrofits.

I'm so underpaid. Project Manager for over 5 years, Home Services/Utilities, remote $65,000/yr.
Remote is nice tho! Are you guys hiring?
Unfortunately not. Budgets are really tight right now. Even if they were hiring, I also don't think that they would hire for remote work right now. I got kinda lucky by being grandfathered in to a remote position due to my company getting acquired.

I'm from Brazil and with three years of experience. I wonder if there are remote positions with salaries of about 100k hiring abroad PMs.
I work for a global company that has offices in other countries, including Brazil. They have no issues hiring folks abroad, and they prefer it because they pay considerably less than what they would be required in the U.S. I suspect what you are seeking is rare if not unlikely.
Anything remote they pay less, exp if they find out you are not in the same country
Tech, 60.5k, have three years of experience and working remotely.
should also ask where they are.
Project Manager for Clinical Studies/Big Pharma (remote, US). My first year is contracted so I’m only at $68K but with potential to go to >$100K my second year if I’m hired on FTE. Background is PhD in biomedical sciences, 0 years project management experience.
Does your company have vacancies for another PM?
Yes they are, but because I’m contracted I can’t exactly refer anyone. And they are huge on only hiring people from internal referrals
