[QUOTE="cobralvr01, post: 15449843, member: 164560"] I started off as a drafter 4 years ago and just got promoted to Project Coordinator about 5 months ago to coordinate the projects for the engineering, purchasing, and CAD departments. Within 3 weeks of starting, I was thrown onto managing one of our new product launches whose status was as red as you could get. Within 2 weeks of that I was put onto managing a program where we're launching 12 new products in just barely over a year. So I went from drafter to project coordinator to project manager to program manager within 2-3 months. I'm currently working on getting my CAPM because I don't have a bachelor's and moved too quickly to get my contact hours. If this program I'm managing is successful next year, I'm going to have my work petition for me to bypass the contact hours to get a PMP or PgMP. Another problem I'm experiencing with moving too quickly is that I'm just barely above my drafter pay, approx. $46k/year, but now I'm 3 levels above that. If you guys don't mind me asking, what kind of pay range are you at and what should I push for with the following credentials to get a fairer pay rate? Degrees: Associates in Business Associates in Arts Certifications: Six Sigma Green Belt (1 of 4 people in company with six sigma certification) CAPM (only certified PM in the company) Experience: 4+ years w/ company Successfully pulled a product launch in the "hot-potato-effect" on track and into green status. Direct a program level product launches spanning across 11 different products within 1 year. Only PM managing at a program level. Program team includes 26+ members. All other project managers have less than 6 members on their team. Company size is 325. Report directly to the CEO of the company but technically work under the VP of Design and Purchasing. All other PM's report directly to their VP's. Established a set process for all product launches in the future. Program budget is sitting approximately $4million. Program will get us in a $3billion market. Authority level: can hold VP executives accountable for missed dates and not working cohesively. CEO and president declared it as the highest budgeted and most intense project in my company's history. Company investors are aware of project and that I'm managing the program. I assume I'm doing pretty well especially considering I'm very new to this and this intensity of the projects because of the critique I get from my most immediate officer and the CEO of the company.
