Starting a new role Monday as an account manager transitioning from a project manager role. I was told I won’t be doing much selling, besides the opportunity to up sell, and I’m making a fairly decent base salary and no commission since I’m technically not sales. Everyone seems surprised that I won’t be selling when I mention my new role, I feel like sales and account management goes hand in hand but this role really seems more on the management side than sales…am I being naive?

Anyone know any companies or know of anyone that had no direct experience but was hired as a product manager? I have a background in marketing and some technical skills but I have no product experience. I want to pivot from marketing/operations to a product manager role.

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

What are future prospects of experience in SAP EWM? Can one switches to product company later in career?
