My last role as a permie was 'Software Development Manager' in charge of 20 people, I have been 'developer/analyst' in every role since then and pick up more in a day now than I did in a week then.

There is no career progression, only business growth.

Very Well said.....

Sorry, are you a contractor? I'd always assumed that career progression was for permies. Take the money and run, then lie about it on company advertising (cf cv)

Take it! and put it down as a PM not Junior PM on the old CV.

WSS!!

In today's climate.....hell yes! Take the extra cash!

The role is PM. That you'll be reporting to another PM, or working within a "management team" in neither here nor there.
£100 extra per day!

£100 per diem

where me calculator

80 after tax
200 days
£16,000

= new car + fully paid month in Australia

What they said!!!

Take the cash and be environmentally friendly on the CV, it takes less ink/toner to print Project Manager than Junior Project Manager.

Even as a permie, I never got hung up on title or position.

"you can call me what you want, as long as you call me!"

Maximising income is the name of the game!

Hey, Junior, get the teas in, there's a good lad.

Take the cash man!

I don't understand. What's a "career"?

If you were offered a contract on £100 a day more than your current role but had to take a step back in your career would you?

I have been offered a position at £100 a day more as a Junior PM than my current role as a PM. I am torn between the money and my career progression on my CV.

Thoughts?

Very true! The money is so much better!

I am a contractor but each role on my CV is a good step up from the last. It works quite well for me when applying for contracts.

A new car would definitely be welcomed right now! Would anyone when getting a reference really check the actual job title? I personally doubt it but just to double check?
