Dumpster fire PO role, but need some advice
Hey everyone. I’m in a role right now that has some organizational issues (two product analysts that i’m responsible for, but don’t report directly to me) and dozens of top down initiatives with tight deadlines and strong push.
I’ve pushed back on each of them so I can prioritize higher impact initiatives and focus on user research etc. But it’s proving to take a lot of time and is extremely draining.
I’m still filling up sprints for 5 front end and 3 back end devs but it’s not always the most impactful work that enters them.
Where can I go with around 1 yoe as a PO? Should I apply for PM positions, APM, or stick around? If so, for how long?
Industry: money transfer/fintech but open to others
TC: 88k
YOE: 10 mos (in tech product) almost 2 years (in tech and consumer products)

Gain more experience, say 2 years, and then switch. No harm in trying meanwhile for any Tier 1 APM programs. Unless the job switch helps you get a better employer brand, it won’t be worth the switch at this point.
Btw, is Ria safe to send money internationally? I haven’t read a lot of good reviews.
