IT “Product Manager” vs “People Manager”

Hope you techies get my inexpert terminology.

My 40 year old son is high up in IT at a large Australian University. So high that he is at the top salary rate of a tenured staff and would have to give up tenure and become a contractor to get paid more.

Anyway he is in demand and has been offered two internal “promotions” without a pay rise. One involves leading a team of technical staff doing god knows what, which will give him the management experience he currently lacks. The other is a Product Manager. If I asked him what that means I would be baffled in seconds.

A complicated issue is that one of his sisters is high up in HR Australia’s broadband agency, NBN Co. She showed him the rates they paid Product Managers, which is $100k more than him. So that is the job he will take, with the blessing of the CIO.

I hope he stays at the University as a tenured job is breathtaking.

Anyway, what’s your call on People Manager vs Product Manager.
