Non-Engineer in Product Management

Lately I am in dilemma to take up the IC role or EM role, meanwhile got a thought of being a PM altogether. I don’t have a MBA degree, just a plain BE degree from Mumbai university.

hey guys - Im product manager for 6years with good companies in india. im non mba but iit grad. how to approach for product manager role at google or microsoft? or they only need mba grad?

I'm a final year student at a tier-1 engineering college. I am looking to break into product management and have been looking for internships and full time opportunities for the last 5 months. I've had no luck so far, and my campus placements are not up to the mark this year so no luck there as well. I've done all the essentials for preparing for this role, like preparing for interviews, participating in product teardowns, working on a portfolio etc. I initially planned to work for a few years and do an MBA in the US but I'm seriously contemplating going for a master's degree now (maybe MiM in EU or some MS in software applications in the US). Looking for advice on what should be my next steps. PS: I'm not looking to do an MBA in India. If I go for a master's degree, I want to do it abroad.

I am a 2023 graduate and a product Enthusiast. I am from a top tier NIT but unfortunately no companies come for PM roles. I have no idea why. I have a placement in a very good company and a very good salary but im not satisfied because its not in Product. What are my options, what do I do? I am not at all interested in another rat race to the IIMs and MBA degrees. I just want to work and hustle. What can I do?? Appreciate all the suggestions. Thank you

I am a frontend engineer in a startup with a CTC of 7. I am also from a tier 3 engineering college graduated last month. I want to become a product manager in the future. So my question is what things I should to achieve my goal. Will doing an MBA help me, if yes which is more better MBA from old IIM’s, ISB or global MBA ?

I am a final year mechanical engineering student who wants to get into product management, i have two internships and one certification but that's a different story as most of the people having better interships and skills are struggling to land an offer , i would be graduating in June 2024 and before that I want to land at decent product role at entry level , i have 6 months left what should I do , how can I stand out being a tier 3 college student with mechanical engineering background, i am learning and following product management since past 1.5 years

i’m from engineering but i wanna move to product, is there a pathway that i should follow? is a mba degree the only way to get there? if not how do i transition?

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified?? Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

I want to become a Product Manager. Can someone suggest me how I can work towards becoming one? My background is as follows- I am a final year student of a dual degree program in Computer Engineering and Finance from NMIMS Mumbai. My previous internship was a client facing one majorly focusing on client interactions and problem solving for Clients in taxation. Other than that, I have experience working in college committees and pretty good hold on finance.
