Would you say 3 years before getting promoted looks bad on a resume? How long is too long?

Actually, that's the perfect time frame. 3 to 5 years is ideally the time frame you want when it comes to promotion. It show's that you're seasoned.

Agree on the title inflation at startups.

I get bored every 18 to 24 months of the same role or company. But that doesn’t mean that if you’ve found a niche that fits your knowledge set and personality, there’s no harm in staying! Especially if they are at least giving you raises and/or equity regularly to help retain you.

That's no bad at all!! That's pretty much the standard. Some companies actually look at longer durations between promotions as a good thing.

I think it would only look bad if the promotion was to a relatively junior position. In most career paths junior positions promote quicker than higher level ones, so I don't think anyone looking at your resume would bat an eye if it was manager level or above.

Honestly I agree with everyone! the time span doesn't matter, as long as you feel the responsibilities match up with the promotion and you're happy with the way the role is going. Basically, as long as you feel comfortable explaining it in a future job interview, I think you're fine

3 years is about right. What position are you applying for?

Just other pm positions!

Thanks all for the feedback! Makes me feel a lot better and it’s just helpful to know

There’s an opportunity to step up into the role of Director of Product, but I’ve only got 2.5 years of experience and am already being paid below average by like 15%. I’ve accepted this because A. My company has historically underpaid people but I still like the people and B. My lack of experience. I think a promotion would come with a raise, but the percentage difference would most likely only grow and I’m not sure that would be ok with the responsibilities I’d be stepping into. Any advice?

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old
