You should be able to get PM 2 at that level, DM me I'm doing the same from IBM right now

Will DM.

Best you could probably do is senior product manager in tech

Just curious… i am assuming there is a pay cut. Why would a SM be offered entry level? Is it because no direct PM experience or you trying to pivot?

Pretty much never happens without direct PM experience at a tech company. No tech company would bring in a product lead or head of product without having been a PM in tech

Depends on the type of PM culture. Oddly enough, you might have better luck at bit established companies with tons of PMs, they can typically afford slower ramp up time and also will have a broader array of PM adjacent roles.

Hi guys
Had a query regarding Salesforce strategy roles.

Is it worth trying for strategy roles after 2 years in Tech Strategy projects at EY ? Or is there something more specific that I should be doing ?

Observed on LinkedIn that generally an MBA from Tier 1 University is the norm.

I am interested to apply to Salesforce in the future, if not now.
