The new term for project management in tech companies

It's not a new term nor a new role, and definitely not project management as well

Product Manager

Business Development Manager

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 Product Manager

Human Resources

Hi folks,

I work at a startup (been 2 years now) as a PM. From the last 12 months, my work has mostly revolved around strategy, business intelligence, program/general mgmt. I am now planning to quit and move on. However, I am not sure if I want to continue being a PM, because it's very overwhelming honestly and I actually enjoyed the last 12 months as a generalist. 

Need career advice from fellow PMs whether to pursue program mgmt/strategy/general mgmt/Chief of staff/new initiatives roles or devote 100% of my time to prepare for PM interviews and also try to make up for the last 12 months by doing side projects and maybe even interning under a senior PM 

Some pointers about me:

1. I have 2 YoE in PM. 
2. I have a CS degree from a tier 1/2 college
3. There is no particular reason to quit. Job is chill

Career Dillema | PM feels overwhelming

I have been lately curious about the two PMs (Product Manager vs Program Manager).
If anyone can help with answer to these questions that would be great

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

Program Manager

Does anyone have openings for a Program Manager role that i can apply for?

Project Manager

I believe that PM roles require much more experience in understanding the product rather than making product teardown as projects which literally anyone can do. I don't see a real skill involved, it's like a person who is a consultant but being overpaid because he is too much involved in the product. It's the startup culture which started. I think Project/product manager roles should be a promotional mark for experienced software developers or analysts.

Do you think PM roles should be there for freshers?

In last 3 years, I have switched 3 companies. I hate my current company especially considering my precious companies. Also, I cannot go back to my organisation because of location constraint. 
Can anyone has any advice? Highly frustrated 😭

Frustrated PM

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm relatively early in my career, and has been working as a Program Manager (it doesn't mean that I have anyone reporting to me). I love what I do. The pay is also decent. 

I also like software engineering (app development mainly). I used to code regularly and has got some apps on the Play Store as well (hobby projects, not big). 

I'm confused whether I should continue as a Program Manager (going down the managerial route) or switch to a Software Engineering role. I feel like I should get some software engineering experience before being in a role working closely with Software Engineers. But, another thought is why move away from something that I love doing. 

I'm a bit scared on taking a decision (grass would always be greener on the other side). I don't know anyone like me in the same route.

Note: I work at a fortune 50 organisation, awesome team/manager, and all of them are completely supportive of whatever decision I make. 

My manager is happy to help me grow in any direction (both at the same time as well), but spending energy on one would yield better results. 

Age: <25
Education: B.Tech (no MBA)
Exp: ~ 2 years

Note: I would definitely love to be a good manager down the lane (always liked working with people). 


(I don't want to make this into a thread to fight on coding v/s non coding roles)

Managerial Role vs Engineering Role

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Let's face it. In some company (read mine) they are the gatekeepers of all things roadmap, obviousness, communication between engineers and business. While in some companies they are nothing but a left over thought acting no more than a typical Program Manager (Google and how Engineers have more say and power in roadmaps).

What are your thoughts on your PM?

How does one get program manager roles at Microsoft?

I am in a situation where I need to choose my next role. I can be a program manager working end to end on a program, a product manager for relatively and R&D team, or a software engineer with the R&D team. While I don’t hate coding, and have some basic experience, I am someone who would loves to be a part of the bigger picture, and feels that software engineering is a bit narrow in that aspect. Please help me choose. 

I’ve 2.5 YoE and has been a program manager who has handled product functions as well. I equally love all of the above 3 roles.

Technical Program Manager

Same as title.
Wanted to understand the day to day duties of a Program Mgr in Amzn. 
Do they have any decision making powers, do they get involved in designing business/tech logic or it's simply a fancy courier service ?

What do Program Managers in Amzn do

I am a student at IITR now, looking for a PM internship. I love checking new products as a user and looking for the things that could make it more interesting. I am really stuck because I cannot find the opportunities. I check every LinkedIn, Glassdoor, well found openings but their turnout even after mailing and messaging HR is not good. I really want to put my skills out there in the corporate world and learn new things from professionals. I have not done any internship before and every company shortlisting seeks for previous internships. What would you suggest for my scenario on getting my very first PM internship?   
I have this time constraint thing for an onsite internship, I just have 2 months for an onsite intern before my college opens up again. Then after, I can definitely work remotely given the opportunity. I always put in all my hard work when a task is assigned to me.   
Please suggest how I should take things forward?
And also, if you may know of any openings for a product management internship.. please let me know.
