Is it better to stay as a Developer or given the opportunity become a PM with Technical background?
(i.e. Better in terms of growth, compensation, and value for your career.)

Both are wildly different roles and have strong career trajectories. Question comes down to what do you like to do on a day to day? Do you like to code or you like being in meetings and talking with people?

I’m a bit of both. I’m currently a developer with great soft skills. There’s an opportunity for me to take on a PM role. Not sure if this is the right move.

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
