Need an honest opinion
I was working as a PM with Fortune1 till 2024, left my job due to marriage, pursued a program in the meantime and right now working on my own product under stealth.
After almost a year of leaving my last company I am considering to resume my corporate life as I feel more positive and confident this time.
But I want to know is this move even possible? Because the catch is I am not considering any startups or FAANG companies which are known to give a chance for entrepreneurs.
What do you guys think?

Hey! So, you were a PM at a Fortune 1 company until 2024, took a break for marriage and your own product, and now you're thinkin' about going back to a regular corporate job (not startups or FAANG)?
Yeah, I actually think that's totally doable. While the big, flashy companies get a lot of attention, tons of other established companies in different industries are always looking for experienced PMs. Your Fortune 1 background is a big plus, and building your own product shows you're driven and can create.
You might need to explain your break, but it can be a good story about gaining new skills. Don't just focus on the big names – lots of other companies need good PMs like you. It might take some searching to find the right fit.

Break is not a problem as long as you can justify that with a good story and the outcome/learning from the break.
In your case, why did you start? What stage do you reach? Is there a prototype? why did you leave? What did you learn? ... if you can justify, there is nothing to worry
I feel this the whole ecosystem has now evolved and respect the time breaks, might be a bit challenging but break may not be the reason to not secure a job.
What exactly are you looking for ?
Why not startups?
