I have a tech background and 12 years of experiencem I have always done both project and product management. I'm now switching jobs and have received two very good offers. One as senior technical project manager, one as senior product manager. Somehow I'm more attracted by the company that offered me the project management position, but the other company, offering a role in senior product management, pays way more. I'm unsure about what career is better for my future and growth potential.

What do you like about the project management company?

Is the project management role a real project manager role? Some companies don't label positions well depending on the old school nature of the organization. Project management has value, but you won't have stickiness to the organization like a product manager has. The skillet for product is a lot more valued and especially if you are able to do technical product roles. I think this is a very easy choice and would quickly pick the product role. Also, it pays more too. Better role and compensation. What attracts you to the project role? Feels like I'm missing something here.

Honestly, I would prefer to follow the money but that's just me!

Ceiling for product is waaaay higher, and quite frankly it’s more respected. Could lead to future strategy or operations roles as well if PdM isn’t for you.
