I was once asked if I wanted to be the project manager for a system I was working on. Purely a internal title with no pay increase. Lol, fuck no.

Increased responsibility = increased compensation.

Well you can do the route of getting some PM experience and then doing that.

This. Also, project managers are very much sought after, and you can relatively easily switch industrial sectors if that's what you like. I'm currently on my 4th, only the 1st one was software.

How did you get your education and/or first experience with project management? I'm finding myself being pushed into a project management role and am finding it to be a difficult transition. I'm not unhappy about the transition and it is coming with increased pay, but I need to learn skills that will help me in the role.

Same here!

Them: How about liason-title with added meetings and responsibilities?

Me: Does it pay more?

Them: Unfortunately, it does not.

Me: Unfortunately, I do not work for free.
