3+ years in HRIS, Transformation (Change Management)

I’ve interviewed for some product management roles, but am starting to feel a bit of fatigue, I’ve been interviewing off and on over a year and studying (online course for data and product management) at the same time.

If given the opportunity to work for a tech company within my current discipline (marketing strategy), is it better for me to take the offer and then potentially switch to product strategy later? Should I hold out for a product management specific role in my current industry?

Ok back to my highs and lows of the week! Please let us know in the comments. Excited to hear from you guys.
