I'm trying really hard to land a PMM role, but none of my interviews are taking me to the next step. A lot of my work is promoting and pushing the product my company sells through sales enablement pitch decks, white papers, case studies, success stories and many more. Are these not valuable to a PMM role's functions? It's coming off to me that it isn't very impressive.

It's important but it’s only part of the PMM role. PMMs focus heavily on market research, product positioning, messaging strategy, and understanding customer needs deeply. They own the go-to-market strategy, competitive analysis, and often have to connect product value directly to business outcomes with data. Try to talk about those things as well.

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
