Become a PM

Is becoming a PM less stressful?

Google strgazer May 2

I'd say it's a whole less stressful as you yourself are not doing the design or testing, but you have to be good at communicating and rallying the team.into delivering. Also comes down to what company you're joining. PM in Amazon and you're fkked. PM is some other companies with better WLB - Microsoft, Google to some extent life gets easier. Also as PM your opportunity to WFH or remote roles totally goes up as many companies don't need PMs to come into office.
