Hi guys, I need some advice. Trying to make a decision...
Im working with Optum for the past 3 months as a Sr Product Manager. A recent reorg has me reconsidering my role here.
I am in final rounds of interviews with Resmed, Kaiser Permanente, CVS Health and J&J for the same role. These companies are offering 20-30K more than Optum.
Any insight on any of these companies? Specifically in product management teams? Work life balance, product appeal, travel requirements, benefits etc.... Thanks!

I am a Technical Product Manager at Accenture that would love to find a role/project that focuses on "Personalization & Content Discovery" such as a Spotify/Amazon/Google/Meta/Netflix/Disney etc.

What are some technical skills or subjects I should get a better understanding of to better position myself? I am by no means an engineer, but it would help me understand what is possible with today's technology vs fantasy.

Imagine hiring someone to paint your house. The painting company sends their planners and accountants and social media managers to you with the painter. They tell the painter, THE ONE TRAINED AND HIRED TO PAINT, that, "the team had some thoughts." They proceed to absolutely wreck your shit. Then they blame the painter when you don't like it.
Apply that same metaphor to any job. You down to let the hospital manager give some thoughts on your surgery?

Need some advice/help to evaluate 2 offers. YOE: 6
I have an offer from Genpact at 4D Band (Senior M ~ Exp Senior Consultant IMO) for TC of $150K Base + 10% Bonus and one expecting from EY at M1 level for $150-160K Base.
Both firms are similar on salary but the position. The next level at Genpact is AVP which I feel is equivalent to Manager only after 2 years. Should I choose Manager level at EY or should I choose a lower level with equal pay which will kind of help me set lower expectations

What’s the best certification or course to take to build a career within HR. My career has not been linear and I feel it’s hard to sell myself as a candidate to the right roles that I’d like.

My end goal would be in a Head of People role.

Anyone willing to DM/maybe give some advice?
