It’s so hard to say, always depends. But earlier in your career I’d take brand name assuming all else is equal

Pick the product role, as it should pay off over time. I assume you're too early in the career for there to be too huge a pay gap between PM at no name firm vs strategy at a brand name firm.

I've been working at my company just over a year and am still waiting on my 1 year review where a raise was to be discussed (other EA got raise at 1 year review and most raises happen at yearly reviews). However, company have just changed their policy to only review salaries in Jan (change came in after my year mark). I'm having a lot of trouble pinning my manager down for my annual review to even discuss my performance, let alone the raise. Feeling the undervalued (and now underpaid):
