Hi, I am a Product Manager in manufacturing and I have started absolutely hating it. I feel underpaid, and underutilized. I basically sit in my office all day (5 days in office is mandatory) and do excel sheets. Does anyone have recommendations for a PM job (or something similar) that they really enjoy? Not looking to move jobs unless I find something I am really excited about.

I have an undergrad and masters in textile science, as well as 5 years of experience.

Joining a startup or entrepreneurial venture can provide you with a more hands-on and diverse experience. Startups often offer opportunities to work on multiple aspects of the product lifecycle and allow for more creativity and autonomy.

Where are you located and what salary are you looking for? I know of some jobs in Atlanta that you might be interested in

I actually applied to Honeywell and had a few interviews! After speaking with the hiring group I decided it wasn't the right fit.

Product management practices vary so much company to company. I think you can find something you enjoy more. When interviewing be sure to ask about what a day in the life of a PM for the org looks like and what the priorities for the role are for both short and long term. I just complete a job hunt and no two jobs as a PM were the same.
