Hi Fishes,
I resigned from TCS in August and in another 18 days it's my LWD with TCS, now i got call from my lead saying they will provide canada onsite opportunity and he said he has multiple projects at onsite which he can give me, some are saying it's just a gimmick to retain you nothing else, my DM asked me to say yes or no by tomorrow so that he can start the process he said once i get approval mail then only i can take back my resignation. Do you think i can believe my DM? Tata Consultancy Infosys

It’s a lack of clear paths all over don’t feel bad. You know your strong points and don’t let yourself get setup
I started networking more and getting advice from others in the field. Sometimes talking to people outside your company gives fresh perspective.
somewhere I read there are 1 million product managers worldwide. Thats means its oversaturated. A select percentage from that would advance given the right connections/skillset/circumstances.
I’m with ya, I would love to hear some advice from others as well. I’ve been a business analyst/product owner/pseudo product manager for many years and have had difficulty pivoting into the role officially. I’ve been in environments that haven’t been the most conducive for advancement so I’ve often had to try and pivot externally. Also having difficulty navigating.
I’m still quite fresh in the role, so can’t give much suggestions.
However, I’ve seen people in the role for years, which makes me worried that there might not be a clear path for advancement here.
Would appreciate any advice too.
Yup, good point to raise. I have a degree in Product Management and worked in it for the first few years of my career. It ended up morphing into Marketing or Program Management and since I've moved into L&D with a Masters in Technology Enhanced Learning. It's an interesting diverse field product management but as you say no clear career trajectory unless you become a Director, GM, VP etc.
