This is what I’m thinking about as well - currently in fin services, but may pivot to tech (ie fang) or a startup. Also honing in some product management skills, it curious to know others thoughts

So obviously every company is different but with that said Bonuses will be where you make your money.

Construction pays great bonuses. I rcvd a 10k bonus for completing a manufacturing project ahead of schedule. You should be able to get a bonus idea from Glassdoor.

Looking to pivot my career into project management from property management and current role finance “sales”. I took a project management course back in 2017 in college.

Has anyone completed the Google PM certification? If so, did you find it to be beneficial to your PM career path?

Is this enough to land a PM role?
