I have been managing IT projects as "stretch objectives" in my current Business Analyst role for 10 years now. I received my PMP yesterday and I hope to find a PM role within my organization to gain additional experience with an actual PM title before looking for a new job. If I am unable to find a PM role at the company where I currently work, I will be forced to look elsewhere. However, I feel my earning potential would be higher if I were leaving with a PM title, the PMP certification, and over a decade of experience. I have been at this organization for 15 years and the thought of leaving is scary. Yet, I know I am not properly compensated for what I bring to the table, and this is a $9B company medical device company that can definitely afford to pay people their worth. I am excited for what the future holds either way!

Anything is possible, and you can ABSOLUTELY do it!! Use your PMP Certification, your BA skills, and your transferrable skills, to land a PM role in your current organization. I believe in you!

I'm considering going after my PMP, if I can fit it in while raising 3 kids. Been managing projects for a few years, 11 years experience in local government. Now I'm managing a $2.3B infrastructure project for local government. Getting $117,600. Thanks for the video.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

That's awesome, Matthew, and that's a really great salary especially with managing projects! Keep it up, and I know that you once become a Certified PMP, your salary will only keep increasing! I highly recommend becoming PMP Certified, and I have a ton of other videos on the PMP Certification on my channel you can check out

This video is great. I started as an Associate Project Manager and now I am a EA Program Manager. I wish I saw this video when I started out.

Thank you so much! Just earned yourself a subscriber!

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I'm really glad I could give you value in the video! I'm all about transparency, and I wish I had known this about salaries when I was starting out in my career. Just knowing the 'baseline' will help you so much when you're negotiating salaries or qualifying for a promotion

[@lucaso1579]

@@alvinthepmofficial most definite we live in the world full of gatekeepers when I’m reality being transparent can open up opportunities for you as well! Definitely would like to keep you update in my PM journey if you don’t mind!

In my company 120K earns... tadam tadam... Administrative assistant. (NYC) I'm not even joking.

[@ariefraiser140]

That's great but that's NYC. But that's like $80,000 to $90,000 everywhere else. NYC is one of those exception regions he mentioned early in the video like California.

[@czarcoma]

i don't know of anyone expecting 6 figures at entry level PM. Maybe Gen-Zers do, but haven't passed my gossip sensors.

[@MrMusic55123]

do you recommend developers making over 100k switching to project manager roles?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Both are very good career paths, and it would all depend on what direction that person wants to steer their career towards.
