Hey OP. Sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experiences. Sounds like you've had a successful career-- Don't feel down. Remember everything you've accomplished. To unsuccessful plebs without solid careers like myself, and I don't even know ya-- you sound pretty damn successful already. That's something to be proud of.
Opportunity could be just around the corner. Don't give up now! What if it's that 8th or 9th interview that leads to the position you want? Persevere! You could be super close to the end of the race--i.e. to getting the job you're looking for!
For me at least, sometimes opportunity comes when I least expect it, or when I am feeling most down on my luck...
Just out of curiosity-- Why don't you like the product management position?
I have friends for whom 'product management' is their ultimate dream job, hence I am curious about your experiences. I guess the grass is always greener.
What sort of product? What sort of company? What are the major downsides in your view, which are causing you to be depressed?
