Context - recently joined as a new PM after switching over from Eng. role. I have "full ownership" of the product, which I was excited about at the time of the interview. Turns out that I'm working as a product owner (leading sw sprints, troubleshooting, requirements mgmt.), business analyst (market analysis, goto market, pricing, profitability etc), hw design, dealing with 3rd party suppliers and supporting sales.
Is this normal for PM, or did I just sign up for 5 jobs at the price of one?
Would love to hear insights from new PMs
TC: 150k

Separately, there's a larger industry problem (I see it at G) where PMs are increasingly viewed as a magical solution to bigger organizational dysfunction. The area isn't working effectively? Oh, it must be the lack of PMs! PMs can add a lot of value in the right context though there are plenty of areas that can't or won't benefit from our skillsets.
I currently PM at a smoll startup with like only 4 people with the PM title, but we all do a little bit of everything. I personally do a lot of things that are more business analyst and design. A lot of stuff I didn't think I'd be doing alone lol.
I've found with larger companies and teams, responsibilities are more segmented. There's a dedicated product owner, product ops, UX team, etc.
High-key there needs to be more transparency between PM responsibilities + expectations.
