80k in NYC? Isn't that about the same as 25k everywhere else?

As well all know, these forums deem 80K as pocket change. 80K is what you make on your paper route when you are 12 years old.

By the time you are 18-21 years old, you should be making at LEAST $250K. Otherwise, you are a fucking loser.

I haven't delved into it too much. It's just a test? Don't you need to take blocks of unit classes in order to qualify + test?

If you have a college degree, you need 4500 hrs of documented project experience and 35 hrs of PM courses. For the 35 hours, you can use any PM courses you've taken over your entire career. Or, you can buy the PM Prepcast (about $120), take that course and the test, and that counts towards the 35 hours.

It is just a test so the time and money invested is pretty small and the rewards are pretty high. $80k for a PM in NYC seems very low to me; I see higher salaries for PMs in Indy especially if they have PMPs and the cost of living in Indy is far lower than NYC.

A junior, low-level PM with less than 3 years experience would be in the $80k range.

As ICS mentioned, you need the project hours and at least 35 hours of classroom time. I had my company send me to a week long PMP boot camp class geared towards the test at BU to get the class hours.

The hardest part is filling out the application for the test. Damn, I still dread that.

What sort of projects would you be managing i.e. what sort of change would you be delivering?

The term 'PM' is used very broad by industry as of late. I'd be handling two major pharmaceutical accounts and paving new processes in the new growing company.

So it's not a traditional PM role using MS Project etc. But PM in the sense I'm working closely with clients, IT, HR, and internal team.

Umm, this is not project management in the slightest, nor does MS Project = Project Management. 😵

What are the responsibilities and accountabilities for this role, what will you be managing – surely this was covered in your interview?

Sounds like a basic system/process analyst role to me i.e. developing new processes / work-flows.

Then it's not PM, despite how they call it.

Is it even a real job?

What do you mean? It's not a standard PM so you don't consider it a real job?

[edit]
OR oh yes. I'm completely making this up, inspired by PCSlookout. I should've made it up as another fancy Google job, shit I fail even at my fantasy.

You lack credibility and maturity, especially as you plainly avoided answering my question:

'What are the responsibilities and accountabilities for this role, what will you be managing – surely this was covered in your interview?'

I lack credibility and maturity? the hell, I haven't even noticed your name.

I'll play along. Yes, I'm making the job up, therefore I can't answer your Qs.

That sounds easy ... just have to get that 4500 hours of project managerial experience in 😉
