Which profile is financially more rewarding in longer run - Tech Program Manager or Tech Product Manager in industry firms like Walmart etc. I am inclined more towards Prog Manager role as I see future path as Director Engineering --> CIO/CTO.

I don’t know Walmart but usually Program Manager >>> Product Manager, especially since programs usually have big Build budgets and have a strong visibility for the management. But programs are also risky for you career, as it might be a lost in advance bet...

My bad, I meant that programs may be risky for your career as they are usually intensive in political issue within any organization. Even with strong skills, failing with a program is a possibility that you must consider if you take this role.

Slow down there pal. Though impressive that career goal is already set on C suite of Walmart

Nah, not saying target is C. Just saying in my understanding, Tech Prog Manager has a path to C role. I couldn't see one from Prod Manager role
