There’s technical and non technical PgMs. The non tech pgms don’t need to know coding

Non tech pgm here. There are people doing well with strong analytics skills (sql included), others that do fine without.
My 2 cents: even in non tech role, knowing sql well will give you an edge, you will not need to rely on dashboards made by others, you will be more familiar with tools like data studio for data viz, and it will give you deep knowledge of the data you work with every day. Google is a data driven company, regardless of your role. If you neglect it, you start with a handicap

like

Data Studio, PLX dashboards (internal) and slides with charts from Google sheets for smaller datasets. Someone uses 3rd party data viz tools like tableau, but is more rare

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?

I am a California teacher looking to relocate. My son is pushing for Boerne. I have spent most of my life in small private Christian schools and loved it! When I moved to public school the large class sizes and trauma/sped students filling my classroom burned me out. I moved to homeschool this year (with my same district) and love it!!! I am curious about teaching in Texas. Class sizes, special ed, private school, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
