I'm more passionate about product management but i'm scared if i choose pm, i won't be able to go back to swe. On the other hand, I'm not rly passionate about swe as I am about product.

Sounds like u need to choose between swe and pm first

#

Aws swe to pm is much more feasible tho

merry pilot Feb 28, 2026, 8:31 PM

#

I think personally I’d go with PM. If you’re passionate about it why would you wanna go back to swe anyway?

#

But wizzy is right on both his comments

serene raft Feb 28, 2026, 8:32 PM

#

the only thing that im debating is that its easier to branch out to more positions from swe than from pm, and also maybe salary differences. swe pays a bit more but it again depends on the company. I think me working as a pm would have more impact on a larger scale than swe.

#

Just keep in mind there r less pm new grad positions available so it u rly want that go cloudflare

#

But recruiting ng pm or swe with aws is viable

AWS

I think it comes down to how confident you are or how much you wanna risk it. I think having a dedicated PM role at cloud flare probably appeals more to unicorn PM roles. And being confident in your ability to deliver impact as a PM speaks to how successful you’ll be in PM roles in general, so I think the salary isn’t that relevant. If you’re good at it you’ll go far compensation wise

Alternatively Amazon SDE will set you up for both SWE and PM roles, but like I said it’s probably less of a positive signal than cloudflare for PM alone

In essence if you’re willing to risk it and you’re all in on PM then go with cloudflare. If not then go with Amazon

#

When you choose PM the SWE gate closes keep that in mind

#

And PM has lower HC

#

And less growth

I had similar thoughts and decided to go swe route for issues mentioned above

Cloudflare PM has coding too but Amazon would be better future prospects

#

brave ocean Mar 2, 2026, 7:08 AM

#

Cloudflare since you want to go PM anyways

#

and Cloudflare PMs code more than most other PM roles in the industry
