Feeling undervalued in your project manager role? Voices CEO David Ciccarelli has some great insights to help you boost your income and get the pay bump you deserve.
The role of project manager has become an essential part of many industries, from construction and IT to design, advertising, and manufacturing. Research by the Project Manager Institute has predicted a 33% growth in demand for these positions - equating to 22 million jobs - by 2027. The average salary for such a role in the US is around $77,000 with more experienced practitioners earning anywhere up to $200,000.
David Ciccarelli, Founder and CEO of Voices, explores various approaches to up-skilling, finding employment opportunities that reflect one's professional worth, and the role of education in career progression with CIO in a recent article, reflecting his experience and insights into the challenges facing project managers in the modern era. Presenting his nuanced arguments for positivity and self-belief in a competitive industry, Ciccarelli offers actionable insights on increasing earning power for project managers.
The CIO article shares David Ciccarelli's thoughts on weighing up the pros and cons of attempting to secure a pay rise with one's current employer or looking elsewhere for a better-paid position. He points out that there are other ways besides gaining a promotion to achieve a bump in earnings. Many lateral moves within organizations can prove lucrative for managers if a company is restructuring and considering internal appointments over external recruitment.
If this approach fails to work, David highlights the logic of negotiating a one-off bonus. This can be tied to performance and seeing projects through to completion - on time and under budget. The Voices CEO encourages readers to have confidence in their abilities - to be unafraid to pursue what they believe to be their true worth within their organization.
