"As a Program Manager (PgM) you're always learning. No two programs are the same because technology is constantly changing. Therefore, you are constantly in a learning mode. As the PgM, you have to learn new structure and processes. Thus, a Program Manager’s world is ever changing, growing and evolving – it’s a great ride! One more thing that I love about being a Program Manager is that you work with all sorts of interesting people. Program Management is a great training ground for future CEOs. Ability to manage things, risks, tasks, processes and at the same time lead people is for the few, the proud and the good PgMs. What do I hate about being a Program Manager, your success depends on the success of the team. You're now the head coach of Washington Redskins. If the team wins you take the glory, if the team does not win, you're toasted regardless of your previous accolades as a championship winning coach. Analogously, as a Program Manager you must rise above details mentality and become more of delegator and coordinator. Else I forget, to succeed as a PgM, you must maintain an open communication channel 24x7 and you must be a good and effective communicator; otherwise, don’t go down this path."

"Truth be told project management definitely has its stressful moments such as: budget, schedule, meeting expectations, just to name a few. So, heres why I love being a project manager:I love facilitating meetings and helping team members overcome potential road blocks.I really enjoy being able to meet a clients deadline, exceed their expectations, and being able to help them solve their problems. I love to see the different growth stages of my project teams."

"It's challenging work and requires a lot of knowledge of what customers care about. The most worthwhile part was writing vulnerability responses that would allow a customer to know they needed an upgrade, without revealing the exploit. The worst part was all the false positives to run down and refute, coupled with no two suspected vulnerability reports ever having the same set of issues flagged."
