I am looking for exit opportunities in tech companies as a product manager. I do a lot of product management type work in my current role as well. Thoughts on changing my LinkedIn job title from “Manager” to “Product Manager”?

FYI product management IS NOT project management.

Most consulting skills and experience is project management or program management at best. Product manager is essentially an entrepreneur- you need to market, build, partner and sell a product.

To be fair at the junior levels the roles are more similar than different; it only starts diverging at the senior levels

What’s your current background

Go for it. You can always provide more color to your role. Like “Manager - Product Management” at Company XYZ

I’ve thought about the same thing, pretty sure I’m going to update it to list as “Manager - Specific Field Product Management”. I’ve seen a number of colleagues do this for various field but not necessarily specific to product management

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.

Client recently offered me a job for an open req (industry eq SM). The work is flexible, the req is just to get me in the door but I decide what I want to work on (which I trust to be true). Much better culture, wlb, etc., but I’d be taking a 100k pay cut and be an IC with no team. Is it worth taking a step back in pay and responsibilities, or does it seem possible to get all in one?

Received an external offer in a customer success role. Overall TC is slightly lower than current salary. How would you negotiate? Help and advice is needed - never done this before. Base+Bonus 210K, RSUs 90K, Sign on 15K. Where can I get more and what makes sense? Current TC is ~250K

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
