As a fresher, I've taken the initiative to start learning about this industry I have completed four courses in Product Management, covering areas such as: - Product Analysis - Go-to-Market Strategy - Market Analysis I am eager to apply my skills and start my journey in this exciting field. I am looking for opportunities where I can further develop my expertise and grow as a Product Manager. Any advice or leads on where I can apply to gain more experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey. I have close to 6 years of Experience in Sales and Customer centric roles but recently I have developed an interest in Product Development. For reference, I have an Engineering degree in Computer Science and MBA as well. A few questions for clarity: 1. Is it possible to make this transition into a Product role at this stage of my career? 2. If I want to teach myself the skills of a product manager, how should I start and what resources should i refer to, to begin with that can start the learning process?

Hello everyone, I hope this post finds you all well. I am a clinical microbiologist with a strong interest in technology and its potential to transform healthcare. While I do not have a background in programming, I have a basic understanding of coding and have dabbled in HTML as a teenager (it's a markup language, I know 😄) and Python in the past. After spending many years in medicine, I am looking to explore if I can create any value in the tech industry, specifically in the field of health tech. I am reaching out to this community for any help or guidance that you can provide me with like who to connect with or what jobs would be a good fit. I am particularly interested in connecting with individuals who have successfully made the transition from medicine to technology or who are working in health tech roles. Any advice or insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey everyone, excited to be doing this AMA! A brief about me, I work currently as a Director of Product at an Indian unicorn startup About my career: - Did my undergrad from IIT and then masters from an Ivy league school - Have been in product for almost 10 years now - across 2 Indian unicorn startups and a publicly listed company Would love to take questions on what it means to be a PM, growing within the role, building your career, and other things :) Will be back here at 4 pm and start replying Shoot away!

Hi, I'm currently working as a Product Analyst at a promising startup, where I've been working on enhancing product delivery processes, keeping a check on deadlines (part of PMO), and driving client adoption for the past 1.5 years. Here my primary responsibilities involve conducting data analysis of projects and tickets, identifying trends and patterns, and providing insights to inform product decisions. However, I'm not directly involved in the core decision-making processes that shape product strategy. This is my first job and I feel there will be nothing specific that I will own in project management and/or process excellence, there is nothing much to grow in this field, and pretty much anybody can replace this task, *please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm particularly fascinated by the prospect of building solutions that will directly impact our clients hence the real world, developing innovative product strategies, and bringing impact to the business. I have some questions and seeking guidance. Insights, personal experiences, or any guidance will help me a lot. Thanks in advance. - Should I consider pursuing a product management role? - Or should I step toward product strategy? - If I need to get into product strategy, how can I do that? is an MBA a must for this kind of role? - Or are there other avenues that might be more suitable for my current skillset and experience?

Hello everyone, I'm a non-engineer who's been working as a PM/APM for roughly 1.5 years. I wanted to know what kind of course (short or long) could help to progress in a product management career (especially if I'm targeting to work in the sports/gaming/fitness/entertainment industry in and around Mumbai or anywhere remotely) Would really appreciate inputs from experienced PMs
