I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.

Are you still early in your career? Is the new company possibly more lucrative if it grows and your one of the first 20?

I've been with my current company 6 years. But not held a position before that since leaving university.
The smaller company is in the same industry (manufacturing) and has their eyes set on large growth as a result of releasing their own product recently.
Before they were doing contract work with 3rd party hardware, so potential for the company to grow well with better margins per sale.
So I would say it could be a great time to join the company, just concerned with security atm as I'm a bit anxious a recession may be coming.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

I’m interested in becoming a product manager but I don’t think I have the right background. My background is in enablement/product training/L&D. I don’t have a technical background. I work closely with the PMs at my current company and would love to get to do what they do. Is it possible to be a product manager without a technical background? Are there any certification type programs that could boost my credentials and employers would actually care about? Or is this transition a pipe dream?
