Honestly, I got my foot in the door and now get to work on pretty cool ML stuff as a DS.
I'm gonna stick it out for a few years (I like my job) and pivot to ML-PM right as there is a glut of technical people in the field.
In my experience, product/program managers that understand ML are a very rare breed, and often end up being the bottleneck when it comes to taking an ML model from research to users.
At the same time, becoming a PM too soon will be me being all talk no substance. Don't want that.
