Typically, product management is relatively more strategic and technical than product marketing.

Pdm also needs solid working knowledge of tech platforms and infrastructure of the product to develop and prioritize the roadmap (not everything is user facing feature development), and sometimes data query chops to mine usage analytics for product optimization and planning

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
