Some of the many benefits include:
- Job Opportunities: The demand for project managers is high. The Project Management Institute (PMI®) expects 22 million new project management job openingsthrough 2027.
- Choice of Industry: Project managers—and the leadership they bring—are needed in a wide variety of industries, such as IT, business services, oil and gas, finance and insurance, manufacturing, construction, and utility industries—all over the world.
- Fair Compensation: Salaries for project managers are competitive. According to Glassdoor, the national average entry-level project manager salaryis above $60,000.
- Skills Acquisition: Project management provides a wide array of opportunities to learn about new fields, add to your professional skill set, and increase your value in the job market.
- Career Advancement: Project management offers plenty of opportunities for advancement. Highly experienced, specialized, certified project managers can expect to see double the entry-level salary—or more.
- Making a Difference: Project managers not only directly impact morale and the company’s bottom line, but also have the personal and professional satisfaction of seeing projects through from start to finish under their leadership.
- Leadership Training: Some consider project management to be CEO training. Both roles have similar challenges and requirements: working with and for investors, project teams, and clients—as well as dealing with many of the same pressures and financial restraints.
