Is it easier to pivot into pmm if I come from creative agency and may get a job at digital ad account management/sales under a tech company? Or is it ideal to apply for an integrated marketing job first to pivot to PMM?

Being on a digital ad account in tech will help to get your foot in the door, but the role may also be less direct. Integrated role will generally be a little closer to PMM tasks, but then you might not get that foot in the tech door, and always keep in mind not all roles are created equally across companies.

So is there no way to become a PMM unless you started as one?

What should I pay a part time PMM at a Series A funded, Y Combinator-backed Fintech SaaS startup working 20 hours a week whose job it is to assist the CMO (me) with setting up and managing a product marketing function? This person will be the 7th hire, the second marketer, and will grow into a full time role (if they want it) as we scale. I myself just completed PMA's Product Marketing Core Cert, but I can't do it all myself and run Demand Gen and Mar Ops. Also HM experience should I require?

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)
