Product owner is an agile concept , product manager is a business concept.

They are not same. Pick one first

Let me help with clarifying CM1 comment... product owners are title used in agile methodology for software development projects.

On an agile project the SCRUM master would look to the company’s Product Owner to prioritize requirements so each sprint delivers the most important features for the business. The Product Owner is usually someone in the company with the the most hands on experience with the area your developing the software but also has a strategic vision for the software purpose in the company. Product owners job is usually temporary or pet time and only last as long as the development project (in my experience). Afterwards they transition back to their prior role or in some cases become the Product Manager for the company.

A Product Manager is the person in charge of the overall success of a company’s product. If we continue with a software example they drive the vision for the product road map including new features for future releases as well as address end user feedback. They manage cross functional teams including Sales, IT, Marketing, Finance and Accounting assuming the software has some impact on each department.

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
