Hi, I'm almost at the end of NP. I've two offers in hand with different roles and similar packages.
1. Product manager at EY
2. Product analyst at Livspace.

While package is my second priority, role and job security is more important.. My aim is to get into product manager roles and I've been waiting for this since forever.
Which one should I go for after considering the pros and cons?

Go for PM at EY. Product manager is definitely seniority, more freedom, more decision making and accountability. PA is more of a lower role than PM. If PM is your dream then go for it again. PM jobs are difficult to crack, a company like EY you'll be able to explain full context of PM and more wider experience than what a startup PM would get to explore. You'll be back by all tools and data that is important because in small companies you'll not get either data or authority, or decision making, driving the product and you'll often be micromanaged by someone in the upper management, most likely by director product or ceo. So this opportunity is definitely a big and valuable one. Moreover you'll get to also experience structured and organized methods and processes in the role not like taking spot decisions like it happens in startups. So my suggestion go for it! All the best and hope you take an informed decision.

This is helpful, thank you!

First and foremost, do get some clarity on what the product analyst role is all about. At some places it is equivalent to an associate PM role (which is fine) - just that a different term is used for the designation.
However, in most organizations product analysts are folks who dive deep into data for any insights and then pass it on to the product team. PMs use this to build new features, productize and action new processes.
So in short
PM/ APM >>>> Product Analyst
Livspace > EY
(unless you are interested in core data science/ analytics roles -- in which case the above two equations would flip)

Thank you for the detailed response!

I am curious as to what products does EY have. Most companies don't have a product but they just call the role as Product manager. If you are looking for just the role name, go for EY. If you really passionate about building products and building a career in hardcore product management, goe for Livspace. It's important to choose a path where you'll be mentored on the basics. Role and designation will come to you quickly if you learn the fundamentals right

Thanks for your advice. I agree with your words. EY has tax and financial products (b2b) which they're developing. I beleive EY is pivoting from a mere client service company to a product suite offering company.
