I’m a current pmm looking for senior pmm roles. I have connections to a company that currently has a pmm opening with the right requirements and salary however it’s not a senior position. Is it worth still applying to? How would you approach the level mismatch with a recruiter or HM?

It’ll depend on what’s important to you - Sr. Manager tends to simply be an indication of experience (and thus salary) rather than any specific added responsibility (this isn’t always the case, but I feel is a reasonable generalization) - and looks good on your resume as career growth.

That lateral move could also do the same thing - change in company and product portfolio shows adaptability and growth - and if the money is right for you, go for it.

If you feel the role should be a senior title, ask why it isn’t with the HM - you can say it feels like it’s a senior title and indicate that the growth into a title is important for your development if you feel you need to.

Great, points. Thanks so much for the perspective :)

so if its a different product than the ones you worked on you might need to reconsider the seniority thing and go for it to enrich your portfolio and get more experience. Titles are useless, its all about what you would get and what you would bring to the table

This is really helpful perspective, thank you :)
