Here’s the question…
Stay in my current Product Manager role at General Motors (avg salary, not learning/progressing PdM space, good wlb, lots of work but lots of politics, messy process and conflicts with other teams) OR move into a Senior PdM at Mapbox (higher salary, RSUs, unknown culture, unknown wlb, etc.). Mapbox is intriguing because I feel like it will help me grow as a product manager, but I’m a little worried this may be “grass is greener on other side” scenario.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

But you can always buy more champagne to drown out the brown grass.

Life is about growing and learning. You're not getting that at GM and the salary is average. You don't sound like you're enjoying it. If Mapbox doesn't turn out to be a good fit you can always leave!
