If you're open to doing a more intensive course, you could check out 280 Group's GPM course. Also, "The Making of a Manager" by Julie Zhuo is a great book on people managing for product managers who find themselves wanting/needing to focus more on their people than the product part

Spent several years in process engineering and then project management. Interested in tech or digital health. Any advice on companies, roles and levels?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
