I’ll give one example. When working in real estate asset/property management. I had an electrician who’s son was a genius. (Guy went to Harvard and Harvard law) in the summers he would work as electrician. He did the corporate law thing for a little bit and then realized he hated the hours. Went back to being an electrician.
I don’t think he is lying. People get sick of the hours and bounce. I worked at a “Big Law” law firm before consulting and one of my coworkers quit the legal world to become a firefighter. One of the top law firms in the US and he had an Ivy League law degree
Corporate strategy or a leadership rotational wont pay as well as a tech PM, but product manager can be off the table at most places unless you have a tech background. Might could get a high paying program manager role tho. But those leadership programs should get you > $150K and are chill.
PM is amazing. Making $200k+, high upside with promotions or moving to another company, and work 40-50hr a week on average
Product
Social enterprise or F500 corporate strategy
Fancy term for non profit work - fundraising, strategy, partnerships, growth, etc.
I’m really liking PMM, very interesting and have plenty of free time.
What kind of background do you need to get into this?
Switched to corporate strategy for a F500 from consulting a few years ago, all in comp $200K+ and work maybe 40 hrs a week. If you decide not to do tech, wouldn’t rule out strategy

As guy who doesn’t have a MBA, the question you need to ask yourself what interests you?
Lol what? OP is specifically looking for something that has good WLB, don’t think this is about what interests him/her
Don't do an MBA and just do Tech.
