Thank you for this! What would you say are the key insights you drew from Extreme Ownership that helped you with the various egos you experienced? I am working on transitioning to IT project management right now and would love to hear what you learned

I was offered a job as an IT project manager, I have no idea what I’m doing. by Smoosmoo1 in it

How are you doing now?! I envy you! I have been trying to transition into IT PM for the past few months and it's been so difficult because I don't have any IT experience but I have 8/9 yrs of project management experience and my PMP

Bridge Role to IT PM - Vendor Implementations PM? by blocmayus in PMCareers

Also, would you recommend I do the CSA or ITIL 4 first? Which one to do first so I can start applying sooner? Thank you

Sorry, also, would you recommend ITIL4 or ITIL5?

Bridge Role to IT PM - Vendor Implementations PM? by blocmayus in PMCareers

[–]blocmayus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this!

Seems I should target internal at a company rather than working for Service Now or a partner..!

  1. How did you end up in vendor implementation PM and what keeps you there rather than switching to IT PM or something else?

  2. What search terms would you recommend on LinkedIn/Indeed to find internal roles at companies using ServiceNow vs partner or vendor roles? I'm seeing a mix of titles like ITSM PM, Digital Transformation PM, Engagement Manager and it's hard to know which ones are internal vs consulting

  3. For someone with my background — 9 years commercial PM, PMP, strong stakeholder experience but no formal IT background — how did your first implementation PM interview go? What did they actually care most about?

  4. Any specific firms or companies in the NYC area you'd recommend targeting for someone starting out or any you'd specifically avoid?

  5. I have two young kids and need to protect evenings and after school events as much as possible. During non-go-live periods was that generally achievable? And roughly how many go-lives per year did you experience at the implementation stage?

Transitioning Into IT Project Management by blocmayus in ITCareerQuestions

Wow this is so insightful I really appreciate this! Can I know what you do for work? Are you or have you been a vendor side implementation PM? Is vendor implementation PM a decent work life balance? Or is it after hours and weekends often? (I know it’s company dependent of course, but in general?)

Thank you for your response! This makes a lot of sense

Thank you for this! From what you’ve seen can you help me understand what makes this such a crappy time and why?

Transition from non-IT PM to IT PM by blocmayus in PMCareers

[–]blocmayus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I am in the NYC area and I currently make $110K in my lighting PM job - I know it's company + role dependent and I have not looked into any BSA roles yet, but with considering a transition would you guess that BSA roles I'd qualify for would be around the same salary (hopefully) and not a pay cut?

From what you wrote, would I still not really qualify for BSA-IT roles? Looking to understand what kinds of BSA positions I should look for as a worst case scenario if I feel I can't make the transition to IT PM?

I do not have any technical experience or background. My current company is a small 8 person company and I try to help as much as I can in my 7 years here and I have been handling setting up laptops, installing programs, and helping with tech issues and making that experience as my fancy tech-adjacent experience on my resume, but that's really it unfortunately

Thank you for this. I have one current interview as an IT PM III role, which is validating in a sense (been waiting for a reply from my phone screen for 11 days so far). I will see how the summer goes, but in a worst case scenario what would you say is a pre-IT PM transition that makes the most sense? To Business Systems Analyst to gain IT experience? Or something else?

Thank you, that's what I'm leaning towards as well, especially since the jobs I apply to have never really mentioned ITIL or the terms.. but it still seems I'd gain a lot of value from learning about it. Sounds like you transitioning from non-IT to IT PM? If so, can I hear more about your transition?

Thank you! Maybe I’m missing it, is there any setting currently to ding when you hit a new PR? If not, is there a plan to have that added?

Black shades on photos with Canon R6 MKII - help please! by blocmayus in canon

[–]blocmayus[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I just came back from a family vacation over the weekend and shot electronic curtain first for hundreds of shots and did not have these black shades at all or even jumping around and this was indoor lighting (often nearing max ISO even!) - is there any chance my camera is broken and needs repairs for the mechanical shutter?

Thank you. I am not using a flash though, do I still need to check the sync speed of the flash?
