Those who got fast tracked earlier now face a stiff competition from folks with a lot of experience and they are having a hard time making a switch.

But there aren’t many with experience, no? (PM in startups is a recent thing)

Is there a lack of good opportunities, like it was 5-10 years ago in companies like Gojek, Swiggy, etc to grow fast into a Director of product role?

Are the fast-tracked PM career paths over?
