Product management in Data Science & Analytics

Senior Consultant

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I'm currently working as a data analyst at a startup and am seeking guidance on whether transitioning into core data science is a wise move at this stage in my career. Here’s a brief overview of my background:

Data Analytics: I have 4 years of experience in data analytics, which also involved some product management tasks. My work primarily included building dashboards, conducting root cause analyses (RCAs), and providing insights to product/business managers. I’ve attempted a project in predictive analytics, but it was challenging due to limited guidance.

Product Management: In this role, I conducted user interviews, collaborated with design and tech teams, and handled analytics. However, I often felt out of my depth during discussions with design/tech teams and struggled with imposter syndrome. I felt like my role was somewhat redundant and not adding significant value.

In my current analytics role, I feel stagnant, performing repetitive tasks with little skill development. I’m concerned that I might become unemployable if I continue in this role.

I am contemplating a shift to data science. I enjoy working with data, have a strong affinity for math, and have received positive feedback on my analytical skills. However, I’m not deeply inclined towards core tech. I am considering data science because it aligns with some of my interests, offers good pay, and there’s a market demand for skilled professionals.
On the other hand, I still enjoy aspects of product management, such as user interviews, design work, and communication.

Given my background and current dissatisfaction, I’m unsure whether to pursue data science or revisit product management. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

Hi,
I am appearing in an interview for a product manager (B35) role at AmEx. Can anyone help with what I can expect in the interview ? ( It's a people's leader role )

Product Manager (B35) at American Express

Product Owner

Just curious about what others think here.

From someone I met yesterday, they concluded that it might not be dying but it has gotten extremely competitive at entry levels. It might be dying for the extreme noobs probably because these noobs can find better jobs (money/effort) in Product Management or Founder's Office yada yada.

Personally, it’s highly competitive now. I mean it was always easy to get in with a masters degree. Now it is hard to get in even with a PhD.

True, people get hired without masters degrees but only a small fraction of them are doing really great work. Your skills to progress matter more than a piece of paper here.

But Is data science still worth it in 2024?

I’m currently working at a B2B SaaS company as a PM. I have a great interest in analytics but not getting enough exposure here and my role has just got so redundant and more like project manager. 
It’s been really difficult in the last couple of months as growth seem to have stopped and I am really scared about my career. 

Experience - 1 Year
Current Comp - ~17LPA fixed with some Esops 

Should I consider switching to analytics ( I am confident about my skills which will get me something in analytics ) given my current situation or try to get another good role in PM to which the market has been really cruel lately. 

Need some advice!!

Entry level product/business analyst roles

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

To give a brief background, I did BTech in biotechnology from a tier 2 college which I soon realised didn’t have any interest in. Currently 24YOE

I took up a job as an operations analyst at a series b funded startup. Worked on internal tools + gsheets + SQL(basic select queries). Became expert of this internal tool but realised the skill and knowledge isn’t transferable. 

Got promoted to project analyst within a year and started handling internal teams + client comm. gave 1 year to this position. Currently at 8LPA

Now I am looking to switch and unable to understand which way should I go. 
Have interest in business strategy + data related work.

Unsure about career progression

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey everyone, I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and seeking advice. I have 3.5 years of experience in social media analytics and make 6.5LPA. My academic background is a little messed up as I dropped out of engineering to study BBA. I'm passionate about technology and am trying to decide between a career in product management or analytics. I'm also planning to apply to business schools this year. I'm wondering where I can make more money in the long term. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Career Crossroads: Navigating between Product Management and Analytics

Hi All,
I need advice from experienced folks here. I joined a recruitment firm working in blue collar around 6 months back as a Product Manager. Around 4 months into the system, I was tasked to build the business intelligence system (it has been ongoing).

My manager asked me to whether I want to continue in data and build core skills in data analytics based on my interest and what plans for career.

I am a little confused here since I haven’t tried real Product per se and although I enjoy working with data I am not sure whether to build career as a BA and if I can build data competency working as a PM. I need to get back to them by next Tuesday.

What are your thoughts here? Please be brutally honest, will appreciate pros and cons

Thank You!

Need Advice - Product Manager vs Business Analyst

Software Engineer

Context- I recently joined X a week ago and I got a offer from Y today. I interviewed with Y a few days before joining X and told them that I will need a answer fast but they didn’t get back to me on time. They called me last week to tell me that they would like to move forward with me and rolled out an offer today. Should I leave my current company as they Y has come up with a better offer and APM role, whereas X has a lower offer (not too big of a difference) and Senior Product Analyst role. This is my first full time job, so I am confused on what to do and what could be the consequences

Received another offer after joining a company a week ago

Background: I work in a D2C consumer product startup, we have an in-house website and a growing tech team of 7 people. The whole business team is 100+. I'm a '23 grad from a tier 1 engineering college.

I joined the company back in September when the job market was at the bottom and I had to take a 40% pay cut (21LPA to 12LPA) (while switching (the last company ran out of funding). I was at a higher than avg base in my previous role but the current role is 20% below the average. (15LPA) The company is in a growth stage and lots of processes are yet to be defined which leads to a lot of chaos but I get a lot of freedom as well.

My manager is aware of the whole situation and we had also negotiated a 6-month review for ESOP allotment. My monthly reviews have been going well and we have shipped some good improvements and features over the last few months.

Only PM in the startup, how much appraisal should I ask for at 6 months?

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.
