Have any Senior Manager/Director level roles exited into a Product role without taking steps back in career progress/comp? Find it’s hard to make a lateral or upward move without real prior Product experience

Difficult at that level if you don’t have previous PM experience. Many tech companies see PMs as mini CEOs, so if you don’t have engineering, or P&L experience, it’d be hard to get such an exit

Depends on how you define “steps back.”

I exited with fewer direct reports and more narrow scope but that is somewhat by design. Ultimately over 4 years, the compensation package was better than senior manager/early partner level would be and WLB improved

I joined into one startup then moved into a larger more prominent startup unit, based on industry expertise.

Product Manager Tech 6 to 7 to standup new operations and tech.

4 years is standard offer for vesting and promoted during that time, so that comes with additional shares.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
