I am exploring a shift from engineering to product and thus curious.
How far into the future? 10 years out, its anybody’s guess as to whether engineering or PM or both will get (negatively) influenced by automation. And both roles will have something else to morph into (augmentation). If you are thinking next 2-3 years and: 1) are passionate about customer empathy, 2) first think of problem/cause/solution/benefit and technology second, then go for it. 3) Can switch between different contexts of business, brand, legal, design, finance, engineering etc. 4) Lead by influence vs just authority Then go for it...

There are a number of tools that will help make pms less crucial. I’d say the role of a pm is primarily clerical and as such can be automated away to the point they can reduce wages significantly. Be an engineer.
Uh, primarily clerical? Are you about Product Management or Project Management? If Product Management @ your company is mostly clerical, they're doing it wrong.
