I came across this role of Product Development Engineer for which the JD has everything an SDE does. Recruiter told that it is not exactly SDE. Also they pay like peanuts for 2YoE. Something like 11L. What's going on there peeps?

What exactly is this shit Product Development Engineer at Razorpay paying peanuts in salary?

Software Engineer

Hi everyone, I'm a B.Tech. graduate in Computer Science with 7+ years of experience in sales and operations leadership, looking to transition into a product management role (PM/APM).

I recently completed a PG certification in Product Management with a specialization in Product Growth, where I honed my skills through projects and assignments. My passion for building and growing products led me to pursue this certification during a career break.

In my previous role (3 years), I spearheaded teams, driving revenue, growth, product adoption, customer satisfaction, and churn reduction.

I'm eager to leverage my experience and newfound knowledge in product management. Any referrals or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Product Management newbie: Sales leader looking to learn!

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??

Where to go after Product???

Advice from Product Leaders

Dear PMs and aspiring PMs 

Every company has its own hirerchy and designation and definition of what PO, PM, BA  is and lot of ambiguity is there. Can we please share what is followed and what we know to clear some of that..

In HSBC, for some of the teams, not sure about all..
They hire for BA role, at AVP and VP level. In Agile working group role, they will be called PO. And VP+1 boss in UK or other markets would be called Product manager. 

In the Startup I am currently working. Role and designations are not clear. They have lead PM, they have principle PM. Generally in market lead= principal. 

Similarly in EY, they hire typical BA profile at senior consultant, and deploy at client site as Senior PO for some clients and senior PM for some. 

Let's share what you know and reduce the information assymtry.

PM hierarchy ambiguity

Tier 1 MBA, 5 years of consulting plus corp strategy experience, 2 years data science exp pre MBA. Current ctc around 45.

Speaking to friends etc in the PM roles, I've developed an interest in the role. And would like to give it a fair shot. Just can't seem to figure out how. Any pointers would be really helpful.

Those of you who managed to break into a PM role after upto 5 years of non-PM work ex, how did you go about it?

Strategy & Operations

Any FAANG PMs

Reaching out to all Product Managers! 

Looking for insights into possibilities for switching to a Consumer facing Product Manager role, when one has spent majority time in their career in a B2B PM role.

I’m in my early career stage (3 YOE, 25 YO) in Product Management with B2B firms. I really wanna switch into a B2C role - but I am worried that my experience is highly B2B centric and would limit my chances. Many companies come up with “n+ years in a B2C product” in their requirements. 

Looking for any tips from people more experienced, also if any PMs have made such a switch.

PM Transition - B2B to B2C?

What is the Product management hierarchy at Mastercard? Also is technical PM hierarchy different from functional PM role?
Want to know in terms of career level and designation?
For ex, what does Level 7 is called or level 6 is called and so on and so forth.
