pivoting from product to tech [seeking advice]

Hi All

I have 2.5 YOE as an analyst, currently working as an senior product analyst with CTC of 15L fixed + 5L ESOPs.

I have only been in product since start of career and have a set path to becoming an APM at my firm by next cycle in Dec.

Recently I wanted some building experience and I have built a few web and mobile apps and I found coding is very interesting.

I’m having thoughts about switching careers because of 2 reasons:

1. Money - although I believe I’m underpaid (cause I received offers of 22L fixed for role of product analyst in past but chose not to switch because of market volatility.)

But in long run, I believe being tech is going to make a lot more money compared to product roles (I have friends with 1-2 YOE making 26L fixed) and the remote opportunities.

1. Skills Product is mostly soft skills and tech is more hard skills driven. With amount of layoffs in PM roles, I think tech is just a safer bet. Also given I don’t hate coding. I think I would happily code compared to doing things like user calling/ making review decks/ following up with other teams meticulously/ writing PRDs.

One specific question I have is: what are things in tech role that are not very fun to do but still part of JD?
