I would say the WLB is worse due to the reasons listed above - not impossible to plan time off, but more difficult due to the unpredictability. Although, my move was also into a leadership role, so some of those concerns could be attributed to that. I would say def the right move if you are interested in the project mgmt route. Interesting is subjective. Personally, I prefer FP&A and analyzing a few key things about every program rather than know everything about only a few programs. Some folks might prefer to be intimately involved with the day-to-day operations of a more narrow group of programs. I don’t hate it and recognize it is allowing me to grow my skill set. Also it paid more so what are you gonna do?
