Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route

Brand is great for marketing and sometimes P&L. Skills do not translate well for product, you’d probably need to get an mba to pivot.

Gotcha, that’s good to know. Role would have ownership of p&l and be heavily involved in marketing, operations, and product development. What are typically core skills for a pm in your mind?

I’ve seen a lot of ex-CPG folks at Google for PMM roles.

What was your role and yoe? How did you get past the typical brand management background that they ask?

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
