Small-city management experience :  does it matter for getting and keeping the large-city managerial job? 

 - Georgia :  SAGE,  dec. 2010 
<br/><br/> Does small-city management experience (<50,000 population) help city managers get large-city management jobs (>100,000 population), and does it help them to keep the large-city jobs? The answers to these questions are important for city managers planning a move to a larger city and for young professionals planning a career in city management. This study indicates that the large-city assistant city manager (ACM) position is the prevalent route for getting a large-city manager’s position, while small-city experience by itself may have a negative influence on managers' job tenure in large cities. A career path combining both large-city ACM and small-city management experiences helps large-city managers keep their jobs
