Product ops as a career?

The job market has dried up for senior product roles. Do you think the situation will improve soon? What's your overall outlook of product management as a career beyond 10 years? Do you see yourself doing this for another decade? Asking mostly from a supply and demand point of view. Also, has seen that the role is becoming more and more vague and replaceable. Context: Leading a 6 membered product team in a series B funded company. Managing the ceo/cpo opinion differences, moving to wfo from remote, high work pressure and too much reporting. I have been working with series A, series B companies throughout my career.

I am having experience of 18 months as devops engineer and going for masters in business analytics in usa next month and I want to move into product management,can anyone please guide me how to get product roles after graduation,and what needs to be done on my side before applying to jobs and skills I need to brush up before attending interviews.Can anyone answer it will be helpful.

I joined my company (tech startup) as a Product Manager and over the course of 3 years have worked both in Product as well as in Business teams. And to be honest, I like both the work. Now, I am looking for a switch and unable to decide which role I should pursue - Product or Business. So, I would need help from you all. From a long term career point of view keeping in mind compensation, scope of work and transitioning into leadership positions (CXOs), which is a better role and why - Product or Business?

I worked hard for last 2-3 years and finally got into product mgmt from business strategy role. Now I keep listening that product mgmt is a dying career, it has no future, it will be gobbled up by AI. I am really exhausted of this catchup game. I sometimes feel that things would have been better if I had joined some FMCG company in a supply chain - ops role. Those roles are much more stable than these high stress startup roles. What should be my plan to lead a more peaceful yet decently high paying career? In need of some great advice folks...pls share valuable comments 🙂

Thinking of switching to Product management and similar level roles. I have around 9 years of exp in Saas production implementations. Current organisations doesn’t have any such opportunities. What’s the best way to move forward here! Even open for 5-6 months on campus course. Please advise.

Hey all, I'm seeking some advice and guidance from this amazing community. I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and would appreciate any insights from those who have been in a similar situation. For the past 12 years multiple domains like Business, Digital marketing, Ui Ux & digital transformation, lastly 1.5yrs back I had the opportunity to become a founder of a startup where I handled both product and marketing. Unfortunately, that venture didn't find PMF, but I gained valuable experience in the process. Now, I'm considering whether to pursue a career as a product manager or product marketer. Also i didn't borrow any salary from the startup will it have any negative effects & how to mitigate them? Lastly based on the above background what would be the ideal package to go for?

Hi All, I carry an experience of 8 years in Ops, Customer Retention, Customer Experience and Sales Looking for a Manager role in Operations.

I am working as a Technical Associate and have 2 yoe How can I explore product management sector. Any suggestions?

Hey folks, I'm wondering what kinda role I should pursue next after product management. I'm done with this role, works vary from company to company and team to team. It's tough to make people understand the difference between pre-PMF products & mature products, and how the metrics impact vary across the spectrum. And this completely changes the equation of your appraisal or your promotion as well. I don't see myself working in the same kind of role after 5 years. So I'm wondering what kinda role I should look out for? My general interests are more analytics & strategy centric. What do you guys think??

I am currently managing a product, which has not really scaled up as expected over the last 1.5 years. Hand to heart, I can say I have given my best in terms of efforts but still the outcomes are not as expected due to many factors beyond my control. Now this has created a perception amongst senior management that my team is working very slowly and not able to build what customers want. It is very difficult to change this perception in short term I have asked for change of product portfolio multiple times but that is not getting entertained. Any suggestions if I want to stay in this company (other than the very obvious - looking for opportunities outside the organisation.)
