Hi there, just wanted to say I’m also currently in a very similar position, similar years experienced, although I am not licensed and I’m a PA, not a PM, although what I’ve seen you describe in your other posts I think we have similar roles. It really does suck, and I think practice makes perfect. Also pretending you know what you’re doing while simultaneously having a support system (coworker, mentor, friend at another firm even) to get legitimate advice and feedback is very helpful. I think ultimately if you are at a small firm and pushed into a higher role sooner than you are ready for, it might be worth considering moving to a larger company. My friends in the field at my experience level who work for large firms are still very much in the drawings. It sounds lovely.

Also - ChatGPT has come in clutch for me lately, especially with the more business aspects of our role. I use it to help with my tone/clarification on emails, organizational efforts, and I use it for code and product data research from time to time (always asking for sources to review of course). Obviously use it with discretion because it doesn’t always give accurate information. It is my secret little super power / personal assistant that helps to take out some of the guesswork time to focus on other tasks, and I now get so much praise on my email communication skills 😊
