What is the growth opportunity? Also is product management better?

Product or Project Manager role? Project Managers are like the research arms of consulting firms.

Project Managers are glorified PMO at Tech companies and get paid roughly two ranks below what a PM makes.

Tried applying a couple of times to ServiceNow, totally matching required skills, but never get a call back, I'm curious to know how to get shortlisted

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
