Hi there! I’m a junior PM working in a robo-advisory Series D start up in SEA, have got about a year of PM experience. Recently had a handful of recruiters reach out to me (payments apps/cash back apps/crypto). I’m fortunate to have lots of learning opportunities & growth here, so I know it’s not the time to move yet. Yet, it seems worth having a chat w recruiters to find out “what i’m worth”, but unsure it makes sense since i know i’m leaving until at least 1y later. What should I do?

Conversations are free and some of the relationships you build with recruiters now might help you in the future when you are ready to move. I also can't understate the value of developing interviewing skills and comfort with PM interviews. Consider taking some interviews even if only so you are more prepared when interviews you actually care about occur in the future.

All of that said, I don't talk to every recruiter who reaches out to me. If they work for a company I am interested in I almost always talk to them, even if the role they are presenting is of little interest. If they are 3rd party recruiters they have to have a current opportunity I would consider in order to get my attention.

Just take the calls but let them know you’re adamant about finishing out the year. If you’re a good candidate they’ll put a calendar reminder to reach back out. It’s easy dealflow for the recruiter and there is most likely a chance they will be looking to fill a similar role within the year assuming their company is growing.

Your experience is unique and good luck with any decision that you would take as I believe the down side is very less, so I would add my 2cents of suggestion.

1. In your current opportunity, see if your company’s plan is to go IPO or raise Series E. If so, what is plan for you as PM and how you would be positioned for your growth. And, what would be the pay, etc.
2. In the new opportunity what is there for you to grow into or would it be the same as your existing opportunity. So, what would be the growth path in the opportunity and how would you be benefiting.

Evaluating with these metrics in mind i believe you should be able to make a right decision.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
