Ask HN: Should I Get a Job as Product Manager or Developer?

I’ve started two companies. The first one offers a web app that matches people for long-distance carpools. It failed because in most cases the demand and supply are not on the same price level. I manually matched drivers and passengers as the website gets built. My cofounders did all the web developing.

After the company fails, I took a few programming classes in college and started learning how to build websites in rails(I have no coding experience before). A year later, I started the second company solo. My goal is to develop a web app that converts sketches to slides. I am shutting it down since I’m still far from delivering MVP but money is about to run out. I spent about 3 months developing it.

I decide to get a job now so that I can save money and meet future cofounders for my next company. I love interacting with people more than programming. But I’m okay with programming. My question is, to increase my odds of success in the next company, should I try to get a job as a product manager or a developer? And why?
