What’s the difference between Program Manager and Business Operations Manager roles?
About to be a Senior 3 in people consulting at EY. Unsure when I’ll get to manager (EY seems to be not promoting as many rn). Offer from grant thorton offering me 20k more than I make now. Asking for a signing bonus as well. They’re building a new change management practice. Should I go?
I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?
Would you take a $20k bump to work in person 5 days/week? (Remote Fridays in the summer) & there’s a chance the company will eventually go back to hybrid. you also get the flexibility on ur work hours so could do a 7am-3pm schedule to avoid traffic
What was your salary progression after college and what do you think got you to your success?
What net worth would you need to feel comfortable walking away from corporate for good
PgM is multiple project management and that is the core focus of the role: to make sure things happen. While a BizOps manager would be in charge of seeing certain strategic initiatives through to execution, the focus is more on the strategic part rather than the project management part. PgM is glorified PMO whereas BizOps M is more like strategy/ops consulting
This is perfect. Still trying to figure out how to make the jump.
Unfortunately, to complicate things a bit, a Program Manager may just be a title, similar to Manager in consulting. My BizOps team title progression is Business Analyst > Program Manager. I’d do a bit more digging on the role description and team itself before coming to any conclusions.
Technically some differences is project management (whip cracking) vs analysis. In practice have a lot of overlap depending on the firm/team.
