I am a senior product manager with over 10 years of experience in saas, ecommerce and fintech products . As i am navigating the UK market , I am finding it extremely difficult to land interviews forget getting an offer. I have been trying since 7 months now. I was wondering what other roles I can pivot into at this point of time ?

Ya I’m in the same boat in the same country, except I’ve been searching for longer. Look at Anthropic’s website, they’re paying big bucks for basic support roles (£120k for a support person, £250k for an incident manager!) alternatively programme management is a viable switch, but in this job market any switch you make will require that you take a few steps down

Same here in UK too.. Big shift of the US companies focusing on US hires or India. I have been able to switch to a lead consultant role on the Product I used to manage .. it's proved useful with the 10 years in sector of the same software, I know more than any certificate can test. I am also very hands on and like learning new tech, not afraid of code .. so try looking at that angle, opportunity won't jump out you just need to look for Tech Lead (Place Saas platform name here).. something may come up.. good product managers have probably seen more bad implementations of their platform and so know how to tackleany problems.

Look at business analyst, product analyst (sometimes this is a scrum master job), project manager, marketing positions, program manager, strategy consultant, agile coach, data analyst, product owner.

Because product managers touch everything… user support and documentation are also possible positions.

I moved from product management to product marketing. If you like the marketing aspect of PM then I would highly recommend it. Much less stress and responsibility, may lose some salary however I was able to go from product manager to senior marketing manager with a nice raise! Good luck

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city.

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
