Am I getting the “right” Salary?
What steps should a project manager take to earn more?
To negotiate a better pay package, it’s best — and sometimes most difficult — to have a good look in the proverbial mirror to find out what you want, and if you can back those ambitions with evidence to not only support your case, but convince people you deserve what you’re asking for. If not, more work needs to be done.
1. Ask (in a smart way)
2. Upskill yourself
3. Get educated/certified and become an asset

🔭 Why having a mentor is such a great career move.
As a project manager, you understand that projects are complex. There are intricacies which may not be immediately clear to the less-experienced professional. Beyond even the hard-skills, the soft-skills of people management, career selection and work-life balance cause confusion and require input. Guidance from a seasoned mentor can make all the difference. In this article, we’ll explore the vital aspects of mentorship in project management, how to find the right mentor, and what it takes to be an effective mentee.
The Mentorship Dynamic in Project Management
Defining Mentorship in Project Management
Mentorship is not just a casual exchange of advice; it’s a structured relationship aimed at fostering the growth and development of a less experienced individual. In the realm of project management, this mentor-mentee dynamic plays a pivotal role in nurturing new talent and enhancing the skills of professionals.
Types of Mentors in Project Management
Senior Project Managers: These mentors bring a wealth of experience, having successfully navigated the complexities of project management. They offer insights and advice on handling complex situations.
Industry Experts: Experts in specific niches within project management, these mentors can provide specialised guidance, helping you excel in your chosen field.
Cross-Functional Mentors: Sometimes, it’s beneficial to seek mentors from different industries or even different professions. They can offer a fresh perspective and innovative ideas.
