How many years is too many as a Senior PM? I’ve had the same title for nearly 10 years now and am wondering if employers frown on that or if it doesn’t matter.

Leveling is so different across companies that my role has not stayed the same level of complexity and challenge but the title itself has stayed the same.

Companies know that pretty well. Hiring managers will see the difference in scope.

Companies are very slow in promoting within the org. It is better to start looking for other VP, Director level roles.

Do you want a principle, director, VP job ? I agree that you have to look outside of your current employer.

I have seen senior product managers getting promoted to principle product manager. But all the directors, VP were hired into the company from the outside.
