I've been contacted from a recruiting for Director of Product Development role, but looking at the job description it reads the same a Director Product Management and even reports to the VP or Product as I would expect. Is there a difference that I'm missing or are these positions largely the same?

Is this a technology heavy org? I find these like to throw in technology and technical into product roles to appease the technology heads. But, great question to ask during that interview. Best of luck.

Are you asking about the difference between a “Director of Product Management” and “Director, Product Management” role? Cuz they’re probably the same.

Some companies ask the interns to handle the job postings, and commas are hard for some people 😉

Ah yeah, sounds like the same thing to me. Glad you got it sorted

I’m a JPM (1.5 YOE in 2 companies), background in projects management (5y - 1 company) . Happy with my role (4 months) and on a path to PM in 1y. WLB and comp are ok.

Now recruiters are calling with PM + 20/50% comp increase which is great. But I’m worried changing role could be premature and hinder my long term PM path.

Have the opportunity to join a startup consultancy as a Product Manager and move away from the big 4.

Going to be employee 15 as opposed to an org with ~650K employees.

Same pay. A LOT of growth opportunity. Less overall benefits, but I think the experience will net me out to be a Director in just a year or two within the org, and a lot of potential to move out from there.

I'm slightly terrified, but the team feels awesome, and they have some big clients.
