What do you see as your next role after principal product manager?

Remember to research the potential career paths available at the company you are interviewing with. For example, stating that you see yourself moving into a VP of Product Development role will not make sense if the company has several roles in between that position and principal product manager.

"The principal product manager role sounds exciting, and I can see myself in that role for several years. There is a lot of room for growth, and your company has a wide variety of product opportunities.

When the time comes, I see myself aiming for a senior director of product management role. In addition to strategic product management, I genuinely enjoy leading teams and developing product managers. The senior director role would allow me to leverage what I am skilled at while working to grow future leaders and high-performance teams."
