Hi all
I, just graduated from undergrad and started to work as an associate product manager at a YC company.
Having worked as a PM for a the last 3 months, it’s not something that excites me and I don’t feel like I’m actually building something. The pay is pretty decent (14 base, 4L ESOPs) but money is not an important thing for me right now.
I seriously want to switch careers to software engineering where I get the feeling of actually building (+the feeling of being an engineer). I want to quit my job and go all in to code for 6 months and see how it goes (as mentioned, money is not an issue as my parents can take care of me for a while + they’re pretty supportive).
Can you please give your two cents on this topic? I’m pretty confused but I want to be an engineer.
Imagine you didn't liked being a SDE as well ❤️🩹
Makes sense. You may start learning coding on the side and see if that interests you before jumping the wagon.... All the best

Keep regretting on and off how life could have been as a developer.
I'm relatively early in my career, and has been working as a Program Manager (it doesn't mean that I have anyone reporting to me). I love what I do. The pay is also decent.
I also like software engineering (app development mainly). I u...
