I went in to relatively technical product management.
I miss some programming, but do it privately on the side or sometimes for some odd-jobs at work when it's easier than asking someone to do it.
I will probably keep on switching industries when changing jobs (which I don't do too often though).
- BadCookie 6y agoI’ve been concluding that a technical product manager role could be a good fit for me also. But some searching led me to believe that “technical product managers” make less than both “product managers“ and “software engineers.” I guess this is my roundabout way of asking: Did you have to take a pay cut?
- anotheryou 6y agoI never was a well paid dev, so no. Also I applied for normal product manager roles. Product/project/team lead/business analyst - with these roles you usually only know what you got after the interview (if it says project but is a good fit just ask for a title change after a year for your product-CV). Technical knowledge is a plus you can charge more for. I just found it challenging not to have any lack in the other areas, but with the variety of the role and a bit of endurance you can find a good match with a company that needs what you can do.
