 Product Manager -> mostly does talking and gives ideas.

Engineering Manager

Tech PMs usually have more knowledge focus on technical aspects. 
  
 So one PM will focus on business and user side 
  
 The tech PM will focus on infrastructure / reliability/ API designs etc. a sort of mini solution architect with a business mindset

Does your company have both roles?
If yes, are salaries for both on par.
If not, who gets more salary

Product Manager vs Program Manager- Grapevine

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've 6 years of experience in B2C sales along with GTM strategy. I've been looking out for jobs for the past 6 months and I am getting interviews but somehow nothing is working out. 
My skill set basically includes stakeholder management, GTM strategy, revenue strategy, negotiation along with some knowledge of performance marketing. 

I've done BTech and do not have a master's degree. 

I've been contemplating doing some courses but I'm confused between Program Management and Product Management roles. 


Can the Grapevine community give me some guidance here.

Program manager vs Engineer salary

DevOps Engineer

When asked at the end of the interview, what questions do you generally ask the interviewers? There can be two types of interviewers, one from the PM org and the other from the engineering org (in later rounds) and usually senior folks. What type of questions can be asked to both types of panels?

Being Underpaid as a PM ?

Management has tried to underpay us all this time. We deserve to know what is the real salaries for our YOE? 

I am being paid 24.6L CTC / 2 YOE. What about you?

You are being paid fairly or above average.

Coding is like solving 2+2 but coders take pride in the fact that you do it in English but I can do it in Sanskrit.Iykwim. I have coded for two years and as long as you're well versed in a language it's like making simple additions and subtractions in that language. Still coders make mistakes because they're lazy and incompetent like the rest of us . 80 percentage of coders just solve basics and still act like it's a big deal . Product Managers are not special I get it but coders are not special too just by knowing a language. It's like a bilingual person shitting on someone who knows just one language. When we all know if you're brought up in a certain way it's very easy to speak in two languages like we all do in India.

Why do people shit on product managers

Hey there!

So, I have a friend who's currently an Associate Project Manager at an MNC. 
He's been doing the technical thing for 1.10 years and recently moved into the APM role. (YOE:2.5ish)

The thing is, while the pay and work-life balance are good, he's not feeling all that jazzed about his work and wants to level up his career. 

He's got his sights set on a Consultant/Product Manager gig and wants our help to make it happen!

Here are a few questions we have, and we'd love to hear your thoughts:

1.Would it be worth it for him to go for an MBA, particularly at ISB, to snag that Consultant/Product Manager role?
2.Are there other ways he could make the transition without having to go back to school?
3.How do Project Manager salaries and work stack up against those of Product Managers?

Any insights or tips you could share would be much appreciated. 
Let's help this dude rock his career!

PROJECT MANAGER VS PRODUCT MANAGER

Project Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Product managers are a divisive bunch. Ask us what we do, and most of us puff our chests and babble about Steve Jobs, PMF and god-knows-what. The rest slouch and mumble something about writing JIRAs.

Curious about how non-PM folks view us - both good and bad!

What do you think of Product Managers?

How to negotiate your salary when the recruiter asks what is expected? Let's say your current pay is 28(25 fixed and 3 variable). What is the maximum that you could ask and they could offer? Any tips and suggestions on asking better offer?

Recently I came across a post that says PMs earn in the bracket of 35 to 50lpa.

How much do Product managers with 6+ years(4+ into pm and 2yrs in project management and consulting) of total experience make?

I would like to know the titles and hierarchy in product management function in your companies. In my company it is, APM-1, APM-2, PM, SPM, GPM, Director of Product, VP and CPO.

Security Engineer

I've been selected as a product Engineer at one of the op payment startups and I can't seem to understand the difference between the two similar sounding roles. Any help?

Difference between Product Engineer and Product Manager

Just wanted to know people's experiences who have made this switch or even just general things i or anyone should know. 
Apart from the obvious change in work, Is the salary structure the same? Etc.

And just for context in my specific case I'm almost closing in on 4 years of experience in software development.

Switching from software developer to PM

Software Engineer

Hi everyone. I'm currently working in an IT Service company, with over a year of experience in building and testing finance products for the US market. 
How hard will it be to transition from dev to a pm role? I've been learning, engaging with other pm leaders in the industry and building different projects for my portfolio.

How hard is it to transition from Developer to Product Manager

I'm wondering if there are actually any freelance or part-time opportunities for product managers.

I have only seen PMs work in full-time positions.

Is PM by design a full time function?

Fellow PMs do share your 2 cents on this! 🙌

Freelance / part-time as PM?

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???

Data Analyst

I see a lot of product managers come from an engineering background. They have worked for a few years as an engineer before making the transition. I want to understand the factors that led to the to make the switch. 

Also, how has that turned out after moving to product management? Did you find the things that you were looking for?


PS: It is also common knowledge that PMs are paid less than engineers.

Engineer turned PMs

Software developers vs product managers in terms of compensation, who is gonna earn more in long term or where the ceiling of income is higher , what is the opportunities for product managers waiting in near future with the tech landscape changing rapidly and advancements in AI ?
