Starting my first PM role!

I have recently transitioned from a business development role to a Product Role in new company. I am also looking to start a freelancing gig on side to earn some extra. What are the must have / essentials i need to know to get my first freelancing gig as a PM?

Tier 1 MBA, 5 years of consulting plus corp strategy experience, 2 years data science exp pre MBA. Current ctc around 45. Speaking to friends etc in the PM roles, I've developed an interest in the role. And would like to give it a fair shot. Just can't seem to figure out how. Any pointers would be really helpful.

Hi everyone, I came across a 36 week product management course from IIM Kozhikode (Approx 1.8 L + GST) and a 12 week program from ISB (Approx 1.4 L + GST). Do these courses/programs help? I am interested in understanding product management better and if these courses will help me in achieving that (and potentially help my career), I might enroll in one of these 2 courses. A bit of background - I am nearing 16 years in IT. Was primarily into Automation testing and now am a Test Manager in a big4. I am okayish with my current salary but wouldn't think twice if a better role with better pay came my way. Also, don't mind moving from a Test Manager role to Product Management. I browsed through the curriculum and some of the topics I am already familiar with. Would you suggest I enroll in one of these courses and will it help having a certification from one of these institutes? I guess I could also read books and browse YouTube for knowledge but,I doubt that would have the same impact as one of these courses (provided they are of use and actually have good content).

A lot of posts here suggest to have some experience of a core role before entering Product Management. What should be a good path? 1) Full stack web dev then PM 2) Data Analytics then PM Additional info if required 2nd year in Tier-2 Know basics of both JS and SQL Python

I am getting into my second yr of MBA I did an internship in the area of market research and have skilled in power Bi, Excel, google analytics...have a good research mind and analytical thinking ability But I don't know coding i can't say my coding skill is bad becuz I don't know or don't have that skill. How can I become prodman don't have any other work experience i am a fresher

What do you think How much difficult is it to enter Product Management as a fresher?

Super last minute! I’m joining as a PM at a global bank tomorrow and this is my first job out of undergrad, I would love any tips! 🥺
