Seems like I seemed to have given people a wrong idea of product Manager roles. Yes you do not write code but It's very stressful job. You will constantly be playing office politics.

A friend of mine is a product manager and he says it's cage tier easy and that he basically gets paid to take 8 hour breaks from home

What do you think about supply chain management ?

Is that a good career ?

Maybe for if you're in low stakes environments like the associate-level or internal tools like the ones those foids make tiktok about. Doesn't involve more than making figma wireframes and jira tickets Once you move up, PMs have decision making power without direct control which is more stressful than solving a coding bug imo

All management and non technical in general are heavy in office politics. If you are NT they are great you'll do fine otherwise they are not for you

Isn't this marketing tho? Still jfl
Meh same difference (in my mind :feelshaha:).

Crazy how these foids probably make as much or more than the actual engineers. Would that likely be the case? @Jason Voorhees

Nah I don't think that's the case ever and I hope it won't be in the future, but the way things are looking right now... let's just say I would be less surprised :feelscry:

Opposite in tech companies. Engineers always earn more and most marketing roles top out at 300k even at top level companies unless you go into C suite.

Also marketing roles get replaced easily. Engineers rebound faster in layoffs
as companies protect the builders.

Should have been an engineer. You would just be making excel spreadsheets all day. CS became too nt due to how easy it is compared to EE and CE.

What do PMs usually get promoted to next in tech? What's the "ideal" progression?

Completely depends on the company for Google it goes like this. Associate PM, PM, Senior PM and Principal PM after that you can either move into upper level management roles to reach CXO roles or stay in the role and keep getting raises
