What's your question?

Contemplating couple of options
1. Stick my head down for a couple of years in B4 and move to industry as a manager
2. Start part time Masters/MBA in CyberSec while at B4( life is going to suck though, with 0 time fr other things)
3. Get some certification, move to Industry and grow there

What option can get to me y goal.

Keep working and get experience. An MBA or cyber masters won't get you there. Leadership comes from experience and you can't rush that. 7.5 years of exp is not a long time. Hunker down and keep learning. No need to rush the process

Get a cert. 7.5 years needs a backbone, and if you haven’t been promoted to manager you must have some soft skills that need improvement. Become introspective.

Believe it or not, the easy part is the execution. Way more bs and politics to deal with as you progress.

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. 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? I'm based in London.

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work.

Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
