Hi all,

I am an early career PMM who r recently pivoted from PM and I had basically had 2 offers: one for a big tech company known for having a tougher work culture and one for a Fortune 500 financial services company but specifically on their digital side. Ironically, the Fortune 500 had higher comp, benefits, and bonuses than the big tech offer while being in a LCOL area.

Salary aside, the interview cycle revealed the culture was really healthy at the F500 . Since starting, I realized that they were right about the culture but the recurring theme is that the pace of work is VERY slow and it takes forever to get things done. There also isn’t a strong data driven culture and the marketing team is slow to embrace change. I see an opportunity to help influence the narrative behind data driven success metrics given my product Background but ALSO I can’t help feel that I prioritized comfort over a growth with this career choice. (And I hope it doesn’t backfire in terms of future career growth—> my goal is tech PMM + MBA in future)

Any advice on how to frame the challenge b opportunity in this situation? Or if the slow pace is as worrisome as i think it is in terms of career growth?

Does anyone have advice on how to turn this into an opportunity for my career because ideally I would like to be in big tech in the future but I definitely want support to grow as an early career PMM now rather than be thrown in with the wolves.
