Do it! The culture is amazing, nothing like anything I experienced in my years of finance. Pays good too, I went from FP&A SFA into implementation consulting, and hoping to pivot into product management

I’m in product management for a stick in the mud finance adjacent firm and hoping to transition to tech too. How is skill set for prod manager at a tech company different from that of prod manager for enterprise prod in finance?

Hoping to do the same!

What type of role(s) in tech? And why the interest in pivoting to tech? (Appears to be a broader trend)

I made the transition to risk data analytics (tableau, sql, advanced excel, etc..) highly recommend it because of the work life balance, comp and exit opportunities that come out of it

I work in risk data analytics at a Canadian pension fund. Can you talk about a few career paths and exit opportunities? I have 5 years of experience in risk analytics and 4 years of experience as a business analyst.
Growth has stalled and I am at crossroads thinking of next steps and possible career paths, any advice will be valuable, thanks in advance.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
