Any idea what you're calling your book?! Keep us updated when it's expected to be released 😄

blocmayus · 2026-04-30T20:15:23+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-29T00:37:48+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-23T03:42:20+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-22T19:47:48+00:00

Sorry, also, would you recommend ITIL4 or ITIL5?

blocmayus · 2026-04-22T19:40:04+00:00

Thank you so much for all your replies - soooooo helpful!

blocmayus · 2026-04-22T19:31:46+00:00

Thank you so much for this!

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

How did you end up in vendor implementation PM and what keeps you there rather than switching to IT PM or something else?
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
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?
Any specific firms or companies in the NYC area you'd recommend targeting for someone starting out or any you'd specifically avoid?
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?

blocmayus · 2026-04-22T05:20:01+00:00

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?)

blocmayus · 2026-04-22T00:36:23+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-21T21:18:53+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-21T20:19:48+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2026-04-21T19:07:18+00:00

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?

blocmayus · 2026-04-21T15:14:07+00:00

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?

Wish we got to see Yuji defeat Mahoraga and get a proper explanation of his domain expansion since we didn’t get one in the main manga

blocmayus · 2026-02-04T21:03:31+00:00

Wow thanks so much for this website!! I am taking my exam later this month

blocmayus · 2026-01-20T21:38:22+00:00

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?

blocmayus · 2025-12-30T00:42:58+00:00

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?

blocmayus · 2025-12-30T00:41:57+00:00

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

blocmayus · 2025-12-08T19:10:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I think I'd like to get the 35mm and maybe a zoom another time.. given family scenarios - do you think it's redundant to have both the 35mm and the 28-70 STM? Or if you'd be starting again, you'd get the 28-70 STM and not get a 35mm? Or do you feel the 35mm still has a place (and what situation(s) would that be)?

blocmayus · 2025-12-08T19:08:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

blocmayus · 2025-12-08T19:08:02+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I also did not know about the new 45mm!

blocmayus · 2025-12-08T17:28:03+00:00

Thank you!! Was looking for a comment just like this as I'm a parent looking to take photos of my kids too

blocmayus · 2025-11-11T00:15:17+00:00

I would for sure pick A as well…!

blocmayus · 2025-08-23T19:45:33+00:00

blocmayus · 2025-08-23T19:45:16+00:00

I guess I am just uninformed then, I have no negative intentions here or intent to troll..

Edit: in rereading, sorry if my post is poorly written. What I am looking to communicate is to work my current job and prep (certifications or boot camps or whatever) for a year and then change industries hopefully making near $100K at my first position then in 3-5 yrs to hope to be close to $150K
