[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should just try to leverage your skills into higher pay and senior leadership. I think people believe that they need to fit into a specific role to like their careers more and get better comp but you just need to look for a job that uses your skills in a different capacity at higher pay. I work on a product team and your background is similar to our project manager but not our product managers. Product managers need to have deep knowledge about their industry because they are literally designing products for it. It’s actually a very specific role that reflects industry experience not product management experience. You could probably also work on a fundraising or development team based on your skills.

Op here. I actually had an informational call with a product manager this evening and one of the main points he noted is that product managers don’t have to have industry specific experience, and most don’t. He said that’s important for the technical members of the team. The product managers are different from the designers, so your info seems off. 
I’m looking to switch careers or at least explore the option, because I’m no longer interested in what I’m doing.  [/quote]
