Hi I feel I have the qualifications for product manager at google however I was contacted for a product analyst role. Is the product analyst role a good stepping stone into product manager if it’s a higher TC than my current role ? Eventually I’d like to get the product manager role but not sure if it’s better to first interview for that specific role

I suggest you talk to the recruiter. Perhaps they’ll encourage you to also apply/interview for that role too. Based on your experience, you can already become a product manager. I interviewed for a product manager role at Google while I was a 2nd year MBA (got rejected after in-person interview at an MBA conference). If you go for it, check out the books/blogs on how to prep for the google PM interview. I didn’t do that back then, but it’s extremely helpful!
