I have an opportunity to move from a Product Manager role to a Sr Product Owner role. This would technically be a lateral move at my company. My main motivator for switching is because I love the manager of this new team and have more interest in the products I would be working on. But mostly management.

How negative would this be for my career progression? Or are there any other pros/cons I should weigh?

If there is a better manager I would go for it! Is the new manager also favored by his management? that would go a long ways to helping your career growth as well.

I don’t think this can hurt your career unless the responsibilities of this role are out of line with what you want to do in future roles.

Hey guys ,
I was a fresher when i joined wipro
My manager has given me rating 1 in confirmatory appraisal on may 18 may which happened after completion of 1 year at wipro.
I raised the issue of rating with my manager immediately , he convinced me not to worry , ratings are already submitted , I asked him to resubmit cause i don't deserve rating 1
So he said he will look if that is possible but didn't changed .Now after 3 months they are pressurizing me to put a resignation,what should i do?
