How is the Product Manager role at Marcus - Goldman Sachs?
What are your roles and responsibilities, and how is it compared to Big-Tech PM roles? Is it more of a BA disguised as PM?

Pm at Marcus here
Comp: better than consulting but shit pay for Product
Work: actual product work, released some of the best consumer fintech products in the last couple years | arguably, much better than big tech PM coz you can actually make an impact here
Wlb: low - v ambitious roadmap | lots of ppl have quit in the last year

Marcus is a very cool product so it's interesting to get your insight on this, esp on the impact side. I feel like that's pretty appealing...until you see the wlb part :/

Not sure about the PM role specifically but I've heard complaints about pay and WLB there

The wlb is hard to deal with. I personally had to leave because I felt so overworked and tired.

The roles and responsibilities include a lot of meetings and a lot of catching because of those meetings.

From what I’ve heard, most people are feeling underpaid over there.

Can confirm feeling really underpaid

You will be stuck in meetings more than in any other PM role. It's the Goldman Sachs way.

Uhhh, how much do you like to work 😅

Thanks for the response! This is valuable.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this?
