I am interested in switching to Product Management for a tech company but not ready to jump ship yet. Currently I am a Advisory Senior Associate and have the opportunity to take on a Project Manager role at my current tech client. This is not where I want to take my career but I will do it if it may increase my chances of breaking into Product in near future. Would having such on my resume/gaining this experience help? Do recruiters looks for this? Thanks in advance.

Hey fishes!
I accepted a position at a Canada based company. I had recently switched jobs with Project Manager Designation and the offer I accepted is of Business Analyst.

Company is all pro.

Wanted an opinion on how the demoted designation affects the resume.

Ps: I work as an ERP consultant-Functional. 3yoe

Hello PM colleagues! I have two equal offers(within my current company) that I am trying to navigate. Option A is as a PM with an established product team, where the work is going to be a little more technical project manager like, but I’ve heard questionable things about leadership. Option B is a PM role for a brand new product team (there’s only two people so far) that is less established, but I’ll have the opportunity to work in early discovery and entrepreneur-like work. Any thoughts?
