Need inputs - I am observing that even for PM role these days, coding is becoming necessary so mostly companies are asking for tech. PM. I have 14+ years of experience and can't get into coding now. Any thoughts if you are also observing same pattern in IT industry.

I don’t think it’s required. Only in FAANG companies, system design will be there and no coding rounds.

Even I have noticed the same. I recently received a few calls and they are specific about certain technology, though I had been a techie in a different technology. They didn't call me back !!

Nope, there is no hard and fast rule that a PM should aware of coding. But remember a PM should have Technical Awareness.

I agree with your observation. Mostly product companies are expecting Managers to be hands on. Other companies expect exposure to tons of technical skills which is not possible without being hands on. In one interview I was asked if I could sit with a developer and resolve coding/memory issues. What rubbish?? Is this what they need delivery managers for? They should first decide what they want- tech lead/architect or delivery manager. This industry is full of interviewers who don't know what to ask / what to look for, while taking an interview.

May be, Some AWS basics and Cloud knowledge ( not expert level) might help . We got to be competitive!

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
