On the spectrum of functional (1) to technical (10), where would you put Product Manager and/or Owner?
Is it similar to old school functional BA role (back in the SDLC days before agile took hold)?
...or does this vary heavily by company?

Totally depends on the company. If you’re at a startup, maybe a 4 or 5. If you’re at big tech, probably closer to 6 or 7. Some big tech companies look for a CS degree when hiring a PdM

What is C1?

as is the same answer you’ll get for anything. a good PM is 10 a bad PM is a 1

Genuinely asking...is that fair though? To define a 10 on my spectrum, I'm thinking of someone that has the ability to tell developers how to build it...surely that's out of scope, no?

Assuming we’re excluding explicitly “technical PM” roles, I’d say 6

6, in my definition, would know
• basic coding principles (has used code in college for analytics or small programming projects)
• understands technical debt as a concept
• can clearly articulate the SDLC and has practical agile experience
• has participated in hackathons or has some entrepreneurial experience
• can perform analytics in python and excel with relative ease
• understands and can communicate popular technical topics (like benefits decoupled front and back end or using OTS products)

Oh wow, so not a functional role at all in your mind...more of a tech role that knows how to speak laymans to the business.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
