Fish, need help evaluating an offer. Role is a product associate role at a fin tech company. TC breakdown is 130k base, 10% bonus and 15k signing.

My current role is in data analytics with a TC of 120k (110 base). Long term goal is product management/strategy but not sure if it’s better to stay in consulting for direct PM exit or to take this product associate role and lateral later. Thanks!

How stable is the fin tech?

1. How much longer are we talking if you go to the fintech (2 years extra?)

2. How sure are you that you’ll get a PM when if you stayed (think about the market now vs in x years)

3. Are you happy where you are? Are you growing?

4. Would you be happy in the fintech? Are the product people there happy?

Moving companies is a lot of work. My opinion is tech companies have overall better environment + employee benefits than consulting but that depends on you

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
