I see a lot of folks in technical roles chasing a PM role. I see a lot of PMs chasing some vacant time in their lives. However, career wise, where do you see people heading to after spending some time as PM? I see some options from people who have been in these shoes before but I wonder if the times have changed.
Where will you like to go to?
Life-full of options ahead.. LOL
Explain your choice if you can.

1. "a lot of folks in technical roles chasing a PM role".
2. "a lot of PMs chasing some vacant time in their lives".
3. Most folks aim to get to Director/VP
4. There are very such roles.
1+2+3+4: There is a huge supply (of people) vs demand (positions) compared to other roles (the best employee market is for Engineers, the UX market is also a good one these days). Hence product management is a very competitive domain, and this increases the stress even more.
Just my 2 cents I'd love to hear if others agree/feel the same.
The solid PMs tend to be the ones with SWE experience and good communication skills.
Super weird market, I prefer to remain a SWE for now, market is way better and I have a quantifiable skill to market.
1) understanding how seriously people are looking at PM as their life time role given the real life as PM beyond PPTs
2) getting a sense how the competition for PM role today may elevate to director/ vp positions 4-5 years from now and there are only so many of them needed
So you can build on your knowledge and use ur tech background. .
