Upskilling as a PM
I'm currently an APM (1 yoe). Even though the pay, wlb is much above industry standards I feel an itch to work and build in an IC role before eventually turning to PMing. So here are my options: 1. Data Engineering 2. Data Science 3. Software development SDE to PM would be pretty standard with a wide range of options available but wanted to get opinions on what niche PM roles do DE and DS open?
Software dev to PM is the most common progression. Other common PM transition is from Business analyst.
Data product managers are a niche that you'll find at data companies or data-driven companies.

Any idea on what companies these are and how the pay is compared to software PMs?
I've seen these roles at analytics SaaS companies or data companies like NewRelic, Atlan etc.
