How to break into a product role/Job- Grapevine

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

Is getting into IIM to get into PM role justified?

Product Manager

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have total 4 years and 7 month’s experience working in finance domain as a credit analyst. While my last year of work experience is very diversified working as product owner, drafting credit policies, building product and also helped in development of a tech platform. I now want to switch to a product owner role. What are the chances for this?

How easy it is to secure a profile building credit policies or business product in a fintech startup ?

Product Owner

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Tier 3 CS undergrad (Sophomore/Second Year)

I see most of my batchmates are into tech. None of them are interested in product management. So I wanted to give it a try. 

How to build a profile for PM? 

Also I don't find opportunities for PM at UG level and the ones which are displayed on LinkedIn etc. are only for Tier 1 students mainly IITs and IIMs.

How to break into Product?

I am currently working as a product manager in icici bank but wants to switch in non financial sector. So how to prepare for that?

So there are few openings in a bank for above role. Any1 here from this role or has done this profile? Insights would be of gr8 help + any begginner/intermediate materials one can go through or some certifications/courses!!

Product manager role in a bank

Sales Development Representative

Hey good folks, I’ve have had a decent long career of 9 years now, started with finance for 1 year switched quickly to category/program/ business facing roles for the longest time, I have worked in various edtechs - notable Unacademy initial days, currently working for a fintech company, I have a very good interest in tech as a whole for a long time, product management is the best role for me move forward and switch, I wanted to know a way to switch or learn in the right way, do courses work ? Will only practical experience work ? 

P.s not exactly a newbie in the space, I’ve identified problems, ideated, built and solved problems via features, functionality and process all in the purview of product + results - one of the reason why I find it extremely interesting 

What would be an optimal way to become a PM (wouldn’t say a right way)

Need guidance, switching from program/category managent role to a PM role

Software Engineer

I am a 2023 graduate and a product Enthusiast. I am from a top tier NIT but unfortunately no companies come for PM roles. I have no idea why. I have a placement in a very good company and a very good salary but im not satisfied because its not in Product. 

What are my options, what do I do? I am not at all interested in another rat race to the IIMs and MBA degrees. 
I just want to work and hustle. 

What can I do?? 

Appreciate all the suggestions. 
Thank you

Operations Analytics

Hi folks, looking seriously for a job switch as a PM primarily in the fintech space.

Highlights about myself:
-> I have ~ 3.5 years of work ex.
-> Entrepreneurial stint in the wealth management space where we were trying to build an AI assistant to automate everyone' s personal finance. 
-> MBA From ISB post closing the startup due to regulatory slowdown 
-> Wanted to get a PM role in the campus placement but, due to market conditions, got a job as program manager in a lending startup. I had high hopes from it but it turned out to be utter disappointment on many levels. 

I know the market is not great right now but I am optimistic that it's not that bad. 

Any help or referral would be really appreciated :)

Ex-fintech founder + ISB MBA grad looking for an truly fulfilling PM role

How does an experienced person break into PM roles. Points to keep in mind while.providing suggestions:
1. 10 yrs exp in Tech Industry- 3 yrs in services and 6 years in product based org as QA.
2. Did MBA( full-time from MDI) and now back into the services industry as a business manager.

Never get shortlisted for product roles, most get shortlisted for consulting roles( which I want to leave 😕)
Any method that this break can happen, or should I stop trying in this lifetime

Ex fintech entrepreneur and ISB MBA grad looking for a strategy role

I work for a private sector bank in India as a product manager. The bank is still lagging behind in terms of tools and softwares. We never use JIRA, Power BI or any other commonly used tools/software in product management. It is largely MS Excel,word or Powerpoint driven. Though the story is pretty much same for all Indian banks but I want to upskill and be confident enough to interview for any PM role outside of banking.
Please suggest what should be my upskill path and how do I stay competitive.

Banking Product Manager Dilemma

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

business/finance major, graduated in 2019, been working for 3yrs and 10 months, have doubled my salary since I started my career in 2019.
Exploring options- masters in India only as abroad is expensive and doesn't make any sense in today's market. 
Have seen the fintech space closely boom as a 20y.o fresh out of college, and since then I've worked across sme financing, education financing, b2b credit card payments and now again back to education financing for a traditional nbfc. 
My roles have varied from strategy and operations, to investor relations/nbfc treasury to product management (current role)
I wanted some advice/opinion from the community whether to continue on my career path or switch to masters- take a break of 18 months study from a great school and get back in the industry.
Also, if I explore the later one then apart from the isbs and IIMs of the world are there even good 1 year mba programs in india?
