Man i am trying to transition to PM after having 10 years of experience as a full stack developer. If you love it you should do it.

I would really ask you if product management is your passion or is there any other reason for transitioning into it.

What i know is that the PM job is hectic and you probably won't see those many job openings compared to Node js. In my experience i can say developers are earning more money compared to PMs.

In my case i am planning to start a startup very soon, i have gained enough technical knowledge, now i want to explore the business part of it. Being a PM i can get a chance to work with different stakeholders, founders, marketing sales, customer support etc.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
