You will have to sell your experience as product experience in that specific industry. Retail can help with cracking D2C/eCommerce roles. Media can help you get into OTT potentially. 
  
 Apply for every entry level position on LinkedIn, find the hiring manager, and sell your experience as relevant product experience in that industry.  
  
 Send 20-30 such cold emails and you might get a couple of interviews. Interview prep really hard. Like really hard. I've been a PM for 3 years, and yet, my interview conversion rate is absolute shit.  
  
 Read a couple of product management interview books cover to cover. Watch a bunch of mock interviews. Ideally, get a PM to do mock interviews with you. 
  
 Go through this hell for a good 1-3 years and you might get through.  
  
 Or wait for the market to get better. It's an absolute shit show at the moment.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I'm in a dilemma and need your expertise!

I'm a senior consultant(mix of business analyst and consultant) at a mid size organization with 3 YOE, 16 LPA from tier 1 college. 

From my understanding I'm entering a stage where i can still pivot to product management, as later on it will be pretty hard!

So my question to you all is that is it worth it to change career or should i climb ladder in consultancy.

I don't really have any passion, my main focus points are money and job security. 

What do you think i should do?, what pays more?, which field has more future opportunities?

Please advice.

Ciao

PM Vs Consultant

Senior Consultant

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working as a Product Manager at a well-known insurance firm. After being in this industry for a while, I've realized it's not the right fit for me and I'm looking to make a switch. However, with the tough market conditions, I haven't had much luck finding new opportunities. I'm really interested in transitioning to tech-related Product Management, Marketing, or Strategy roles, but most job postings require 2-4 years of industry-specific experience in tech.

I've also heard from colleagues that it can be difficult to switch industries when you have a background in insurance. This has left me feeling a bit demotivated and unsure about my prospects. 

I would love to hear any advice or suggestions on how I can better prepare myself for these roles and increase my chances of landing a new opportunity. 

A little bit about my background: I have a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MBA from IIM and 1 year of professional experience

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Transition to Product

Project Coordinator

I've been working as a Senior Analyst at a startup for 4+ years, and I've always wanted to become a Product Manager to make a big difference. So, I've started getting ready for it.

- I've noticed a concerning trend among PMs, both through personal observation and online discussions, where they tend to overlook data integrity, opting instead to manipulate it to portray success.


- I firmly believe that Product Managers play a pivotal role in taking calculated risks, fostering innovation, and ultimately ensuring the success of their products.


- Despite being well-compensated in my current position, my drive to optimize the top of the funnel compels me to pursue a career shift into Product Management.


- I firmly believe that power within a company comes with a corresponding responsibility.


- It's evident that many PMs are fighting with dissatisfaction, often experiencing high levels of stress and unhappiness. I'm keen to understand the root causes of this discontent and how professionals in this field are managing such challenges.


- Despite being inherently talented individuals, why does Product Management seem to come with such a significant stress burden?

Should I get into Product Management?

I am currently working as a management consultant with a top firm (MBB, Kearney, Strat&, OW equivalent). I'm considering switch to PMM roles. On paper, both PMM and management consulting have some overlap in required skillsets (strong communication, problem solving, stakeholder and project management) but it is still not a popular MBB exit for consultants. Want to understand what's the industry expectation wrt PMM roles and if management consulting experiencd will be valued.

Any further insights from PMM or product/ growth folks will be highly appreciated. TIA.
