Frustrated PM

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 😭

Same here. Don't find good PM roles in most companies. PMs are asked to do any random thing and eventually they end up being frustrated. I also ended up coding sometimes in a PM role at few places.

Some organizations might need program managers and then hire product managers

Sigh, that’s the death of a good PM career. If the PM doesn’t leave from there fast enough

Yes, program managers are usually strategical role, and some times with execution responsibilities as well. This role is not for everyone.

Is it because the pod you are in is at the bottom of all pods within company - priority and work, bandwidth wise? Or work for other pods/PMs also are bad? Also can you kindly share company name? You can mask it slightly or be subtle.

Based on previous experience in B2C company, this is a B2B company that too heavily sales/client driven. All the client requests/asks become top priority.

Another problem seems to be lack of ownership by the teams. Many time engineering looks upto PM for engineering solutions. My pod is responsible for a mature product which is in decline stage but right now is cash cow for the company hence least amount of resources and most amount of work. Any suggestions, how to remain a sane PM in these scenarios.
