Hi everyone, I have the opportunity to switch from dev to a PO at a big company (currently a dev in a startup w/ 2 YoE). I was studying both career tracks to decide if I should go for it. To preface, I have an affinity for both development and business / people, so in terms of job description and day-to-day I’m ok with both. But one of the reasons I’m interested in moving over to PO is the competition in SWE I feel is way too high, I feel with a PO role I’ll have much less competition, even though there’s less demand but so is the supply. Is this true or not? Second question is in terms of salary, in non-US countries, does PO generally earn less, the same, or more as a SWE, assuming the same stage/YoE in the career? And thirdly, are the remote work opportunity percentage the same as SWE or lower?
