[THREAD] Thinking to Switch from PM role

Hey folks. I am a PM with 1 YOE. I make a lot of unforced errors and have been in bad situations because of poor communication too. Although, I try my best to communicate everything and anything. The founder just hear me speak and not to hear specifically. I am gradually feeling, that maybe I am not good enough to survive in this role. On the other hand, I am pretty much interested in finance. Am above average in hard skills named as Financial Modelling, Financial Statement Analysis, Deal Structuring and Valuation Techniques. I read pre IPO papers to understand more about industries and sectors. Do financial modelling for the same companies to check if I am on the right track or not. How can I switch to a finance role maybe? Or what other fields should I explore to get out of this. I have graduation in BTech. P. S. - Need some serious help. Thanks in advance.

You can try joining any equity broking firm in their equity research dept based on ur interest. Angelone, Edelweiss and their competitors you should look into.

Bro, same boat. Got a fancy TCS PPO after undergrad. Didn't want tech so did some odd jobs. Joined a T2 MBA, majoring in Strategy minoring in Finance. Really wanted investment banking but wasn't able to take it due to religious reasons. 3 years in PM, it gets better. Yes, its a job where bosses matter. With just a B Tech, you'll not get a Finance job. You'll be competing with CAs and people who have been studying in Finance. If you still want Finance, get at least a CFA L1/L2.
