26 year old. Want to go for cat next year but ambivalent about it. Earning peanuts. Should I attempt cat or go for any online bootcamp like PM school or anything else. Much needed advice.
Go for CAT, it's better, i'm not sure of the outcomes folks got from online PM bootcamp
Don't you think it's a bit late.. i will start my post mba career at 29 while most mba guys are 24-25... please suggest.
Go for MBA internationally, most people there start late. It'll be expensive but with hard work you can recover costs within a year. Make sure you have the work ethic.
Isb mba if you think you will be too old to your iim batchmates. ROI and ability to payback fees is similar
Definitely go for CAT. Don't worry about your age, in the long run, benefits of doing MBA will outweigh your age.
Don't go for PM online bootcamps from anywhere. In my experience, it is not worth it. Companies don't looks for certifications, instead they looks for real world experience in handling products.
Plus having an MBA degree will open up lot of avenues for you like getting into sales, marketing, management consulting, equity research, financial analysts and obviously product management. Based on your interest, you can choose any career path.
And I hope you have thought through the real reason for you for getting into PM roles. Hopefully it is not just the salary packages and the fancy titles.

Thanks for this man. Yeah 29 is old but over a large span it's ok i think
Don't worry too much man, I'm 26 rn and going for a 2yr mba this year (tier 1).
Go for MBA buddy,these PM flagship courses won’t help much. Prepare well and don’t worry about age. ATB!!
