Wdy think about this take on PM careers by amul.exe? Is future this grim?

With the recent influx of talent who are trying to enter the world of PMing just because they overheard that PMs are CEO of the product, and they get paid really well, the bar throughout the industry is decreasing. While we need more PMs, I feel most of the 2-3yoe PMs i'm meeting either for interview or guidance are more like COGS in the wheel. They are doing more and more of Program Management. Any PM at any level should spend atleast 10-20% of their time thinking about product vision, and how will the world look like if their product succeeds in 1y). We need folks like Anuj, and other senior veterans, to come up and train the middle management of most of the companies to really improve PMing as a function in India

Hi all I am currently working as a business analyst for about 6 months now. Earlier was in a back end development team but was underperforming as could not really figure out what to do. I don’t like coding. The current role suits me but I don’t know if it has a good future. Current role - Analyse old product (old code) (understand the complete functionality) Suggest enhancements if asked for by the client. Give demos to on-site people/developers Test the modernised version of the product (started very recently. Called “functional testing”) Can I switch to a different company with a good jump in pay in future? I feel like the work I do is not really considered worthy and hence there is no growth in this field. Please suggest how to move forward. Would like to work for another year or two and then go for an MBA abroad.

Met a PM from IIT / IIM with 4 years of experience. He is working at a well know soonicorn at a salary of 17 lakhs per year . He used to draw 30 lakhs per year in his last role before we was laid off . Interesting Times ahead

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

Try to avoid asking questions which can doxx me on LinkedIn (that's where I post a little) See if you can focus on asking questions around principles & not masala stories Problem with masala stories is that you'll learn the wrong things from my narratives This will be fun I think
