If you have the option to be either an analytics engineer or product manager, which one would you choose?

Assume pay is slightly higher for analytics role

Data Eng has way more security. Product managers are tech depending on what company. But not all - the visibility of both roles isn’t the same. Which is why non tech PMs are always let go first.

All it takes is 1 outperforming eng to read through the PM and ask to be “rolled off” due to incompetence.

Product manager, but that’s just me

PM 💯

Product Manager

Work life balance would be a consideration. Hate working in the wee hours of the night? Pick PO. Love the excitement of solving hard problems both under the gin and not, in a pretty visible way? Engineering. Want to call the shots? Both provide that, but one is thru influence and the other is more directive.

Nice problem to have, to be in a position to choose!

A product manager who can pull their own analytics is going to get fast-tracked for promotion. It shouldn’t be rare but it is. As a PMT you have more ability to choose what you work on.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
