Prepare on pyramid principle, structured thinking, slide writing. You probably won't do most of the slides yourself, but you'll have to provide feedback very frequently, and you will be assessed by partners about the same. Be prepared to be always on and sustain high pace/pressure for months

Hello All,

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
