What’s the difference between Program Manager and Business Operations Manager roles?
5
Didn’t get promoted and thinking of leaving Deloitte for the next level at Guidehouse. It’s a title bump so I would get a raise, but I’m trying to weigh the opportunity cost of going to a “lower tier” firm known for more niche services. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you choose? Would this limit my exit opps?
How much better did your WLB get after leaving consulting? I’m moving to an internal strategy role at a client. Financial Services - Banking. In consulting - standard day was closing my laptop between 9pm - 10pm and eating dinner at my desk. I’m expecting industry to be better, but not that much. Maybe closing my laptop between 6pm - 7pm? I haven’t been able to ask anyone in the bank what it’s like, as this is a new team. I’m benchmarking on other client strategy offices.
PgM is multiple project management and that is the core focus of the role: to make sure things happen. While a BizOps manager would be in charge of seeing certain strategic initiatives through to execution, the focus is more on the strategic part rather than the project management part. PgM is glorified PMO whereas BizOps M is more like strategy/ops consulting
This is perfect. Still trying to figure out how to make the jump.
Unfortunately, to complicate things a bit, a Program Manager may just be a title, similar to Manager in consulting. My BizOps team title progression is Business Analyst > Program Manager. I’d do a bit more digging on the role description and team itself before coming to any conclusions.
Technically some differences is project management (whip cracking) vs analysis. In practice have a lot of overlap depending on the firm/team.
