Do you think product managers with barely 2 years of experience required in your company?
Do you think pure product managers with no technical background add value to your company? Aren't experienced project managers with penchant for business more suitable for this role?

You should have posted this in product manager’s section 😂 High mighty PMs would have flipped out

Being in product roles for 5+ years now, I do kinda start to feel that PM is not supposed to be a fresher role.
Yeah you can join as a PM intern, become an APM in a product start up to learn the ropes n all, but as a PM it's better to have some sort of hard skills background ( coding, analytics, design) as your primary skill set or have extensive industry or domain knowledge to do justice to your role as PM. Else you won't have the respect of the team. And that situation is pretty bad for a PM coz they have to lead by influence, not by authority.
If your devs don't trust your judgement, you will find it really tough to get shit done

Not really, tbh having seen products built solely by SDE/Engg - it's just bad and gets no usage. PMs really help in keeping it simple and bringing customer traction to the product on a regular basis with multiple features. We had tried to launch few MVPs with engg only and it was a pretty bad experience - PMs provide context throughout the business/engg which is essential. Sometimes being a fresher also helps in this case

You have put it so perfectly @ScarfaceX . Influence is the only thing I see them banking on for leading.
