Funny - I’m just now starting to do this actually, sorta. Starting a few days ago. PM will be only part of my role there, majority of it will be at CTO type role. Volunteer work for a local major nonprofit.

Awesome to hear. I’m looking to make the transition to a PM role and would like to work for a more mission-driven org. I know it will probably be a huge pay cut but might be worth it for an org that I’m really passionate about. It’s cool that you’ve found something that you can do on the side 🙂

Been in consumer insights all my work life (10 years) and considering pivoting to product or product marketing manager roles.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
