Could someone explain the type of responsibilities that come with a product manager role? There’s an enterprise software company I like, however the only non engineering role is PM. I’m scared I won’t be technical enough 😕

Don't take this the wrong way, but becoming a product manager from consulting is really difficult, so not having a grasp on the role in general doesn't bode well.

With that being said, think of a product manager as being a Mini-CEO of their product. You have to be able to talk to customers, engineering, sales, design teams, etc. Do you need to know how to code? Some companies prefer this as many PM's come from engineering backgrounds. Others may be more lenient, but you'll need to be talk with engineers and understand core concepts that helps you make decisions.

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Any leads?

I’m currently an AE and was offered a promotion to sales manager. I’ve been waiting for this next step but the offer only provides a 5% raise over what I currently make. We had several manger seats open and I know external people we hired received an offer atleast 20-30% more than I did.
I’m currently trying to negotiate but there doesn’t seem like there’s willingness to do so from our hiring team. Should I decline? Should I leave? Should I accept and start looking elsewhere?
