A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.

I definitely hear of more Product Managers than Product Owners in this industry.

I honestly don't even understand the difference. Don't they do the exact same job?

Or possibly organizations that have never had PMs, but are going through agile transformations and now need a PO because that is a role on a scrum team.

This sounds right, but I would discount the PM process

I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
