Sde to PM. Regrets
Had started my career as a android developer for 2 years. Was fairly good at it. Went for a MBA from IIM K and joined a fintech startup as a PM. Around 5yoe PM now
Keep regretting on and off how life could have been as a developer.
- Crazy salary- esp after covid. Almost every org ways way more to a dev than a PM
- Lot of options in job market - Unlike PM where demand is far less than supply
- Specialised role - unlike PM where there is literally no entry barrier
- Hard skill - unlike PM where everyone keeps questioning the need of the role
- Chiller life - unlike PM where failures are yours but success is team’s
Does anyone else feel the same?
