Hello family, I am working as a Senior Data Analyst currently. I want to transition to Product management. Are the PM courses which are available in the market helpful? All the PM interviews, I had attended asked for relevant PM Experience. I have an MBA from IIM Rohtak. What is the best way? Please give your suggestion.

Hi All, I am currently working as a Consultant at Infosys and have been with the company for the past year. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MBA in Marketing. I am looking to transition to a role in a product-based company. Recently, I solved a case study and secured 7th place out of 33 participants. If there are any opportunities or referrals, please reach out to me. I can share my resume and case study for your review. While I may not have extensive experience, I have the potential and just need one chance. Regards

I've been working as an APM at a startup for about 6 months. I kinda fell into the role. Was a developer previously for about a year. So in total about 2 years of industry experience. As an APM, I've not gotten a lot of opportunities to work on hands on PM stuff. My line manager isn't a great mentor and despite having conversations with him to give me more product related tasks, my situation has not improved. What should I do? Will I be able to land another APM or a PM job elsewhere?

Hey Folks I have been trying to break in product via APM roles but finding it hard to make it happen. I have a marketing background so that adds to the complexity I am wondering if I should keep trying via APM or learn to code so Frontend or design for 1-2 years and break in via internal switch.

I am interviewing for APM Roles. Do you guys have any idea of salary range of APM's in Blinkit and similar tech startups?

Hi, I'm a Marketing Analyst at a tech startup currently. I have a previous experience of working as a Demand Analyst (gauging demand of products through data analysis and market research), 4 years of experience in starting my own business (non-tech) which didn't work, and over a year of experience in my current job (learnt PM skills like wireframing, and user research). Current organization has no Product team. I've been trying to get an APM role for a while now but to no success as most want Product experience or an Engineering degree. Would it be advisable to keep at it for an APM role or get a business analyst job and look to become a PM later? Do companies hire for PMs without a solid Product background and an engineering degree?

Any hiring for APM role?

I know Grapevine is full of young and ambitious people that either planning to get into Product or are already working as a PM. I don’t aim to discourage any of you. Moreover, if you need tips to break into Product I would be happy to help you. I personally feel that knowing what you are doing is going to doom is better than normalizing it. So I will convey my experience in simple words, how I hated every single day of it, why did I still stick around for 4 years, why product decisions are random political bullshit, why you should not let anything that happens get under your skin and affect your morale. Finally, few words for sociopathic Head of Products. Lesson #1: Go through all stages of grief at once. Accept that product culture is broken and accept that it will not get better. Finally, you can’t fix it or improve it. Lesson #2: Ratings are political bullshit. I can tell you the years I was rated worse I was probably working harder and better at my job. It just depends on the results you get in the last month before ratings and whether your DOP is vocal for you. Lesson #3: Last piece of advice: do not let your Product years lower your self esteem or sense of self worth. Also, some words for sociopathic Head of Products. F’ you.
