1. Built super cool team of 30+ people
2. Helped a lot of guys to develop themselves
3. Had some internal materials prepared. Not important for anyone except me, but I am proud of this :)
Started my career in IT as Test Engineer 11 years ago. It took me 5 years in total to reach Senior Test Engineer position. Nowadays it sounds like 5 years is too much, but it was all different back then.

6 years ago I switched to Project Management track. It wasn't a decision, rather following the needs of a project as I've seen them.
By today list of roles I went though includes day-to-day project manager, account manager, senior project manager and finally a program manager.  

My current responsibilities include:
* Managing projects from goal identification to final delivery to production
* Launching features and products
* Managing a team of 30+ engineers including PMs, designers, etc
* People management in the scope of taking care of people I am responsible for. Including retention process, personal development planning, performance reviews and salary planning.
* Project budget management
* Building trustful relationship with a customer

I don’t usually do:
* Sales activities. Those kind of presentations with lots of graphs and modern catchy phrases for big and powerful bosses. I am not good in finding the right words to sell services or convincing people to pick me
* Contracts and legal documents management. Just don’t have much experience of working with these, I’ve spent the most of the time on a single project where all documents were appropriately managed before I arrived and will stay as that when I will leave
* Managing fixed price projects. It’s also due to I’ve spent too much time in project where we built a very cosy and trustful relationship.
It's hard to say what I expect, I would say that it would be a pity if I would get to a company which expects me to manage a set of small projects and wants me to step away from people management. All the rest is fine.
