Corporate Development Manager vs Product Manager

Currently non-tech role. Receive these 2 opportunities - regardless of compensation or WLB, care the most about career growth.

Block Corp Dev - manager position. The sector seems to be more interesting, though the position is non-tech and focuses on merger acquisitions, venture capital investment and strategy.

Indeed PM - product manager. Per Blind it seems the company reputation is so-so, definitely not as strong as Square, though it’s a product position that is core to the business.

Career objective - be my own boss one day (startup)

I have interests in both areas - that’s why it is difficult, I hope to gather advice from this wide group.
