Program Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am currently a Product Marketing Executive focusing heavily on content aspects. But I wish to go full stack PM and scale my PMM career. 
What’s the best course of action?

How can I scale my career from content to product marketing?

Growth Manager

Tier 1 MBA, 5 years of consulting plus corp strategy experience, 2 years data science exp pre MBA. Current ctc around 45.

Speaking to friends etc in the PM roles, I've developed an interest in the role. And would like to give it a fair shot. Just can't seem to figure out how. Any pointers would be really helpful.

Those of you who managed to break into a PM role after upto 5 years of non-PM work ex, how did you go about it?

Strategy & Operations

Say you are a spectator and this seems like the next best thing to get into.. is that the right thought? 
And if you’re a non tech bachelors with an mba degree from tier two college, Is it possible to break in product management?
And if you’re seriously considering product still, are the fellowship programs, the boot camps and everything else advertised worth spending money?
Looking for answers, personal journeys and anything that can help!

How to get into product management ?

Digital Marketing Manager

Hi everyone,

I came across a 36 week product management course from IIM Kozhikode (Approx 1.8 L + GST) and a 12 week program from ISB (Approx 1.4 L + GST).

Do these courses/programs help? I am interested in understanding product management better and if these courses will help me in achieving that (and potentially help my career), I might enroll in one of these 2 courses.

A bit of background - I am nearing 16 years in IT. Was primarily into Automation testing and now am a Test Manager in a big4.

I am okayish with my current salary but wouldn't think twice if a better role with better pay came my way. Also, don't mind moving from a Test Manager role to Product Management.

I browsed through the curriculum and some of the topics I am already familiar with. 
Would you suggest I enroll in one of these courses and will it help having  a certification from one of these institutes? I guess I could also read books and browse YouTube for knowledge but,I doubt that would have the same impact as one of these courses (provided they are of use and actually have good content).

Need advice: Are the product mgmt programs from IIM , ISB worth the fees?

How is the PM market right now ? How to prepare for bigger organisation ? I have 1 yoe as APM in an early stage startup-looking to switch.

Product Manager

Hi there! I understand this is not exactly about being a PM , a little background - I've done some Comms/ branding work in some big name companies & startups, I have the inclination to learn and understand how PM works and wanted to understand if there's any course/ bootcamp/ project I can take up to apply for Product Marketing Manager roles? I have 4yoe in various roles. Thanks!

How can I upskill myself better to become a PMM

I am a Software Engineer(3-YOE) and want to transition to Product Management role.

Does the ISB PM certifications help us in any form for that or regular MBA is required to get the role.

Transition to PM role🧐

Software Engineer

So I started PMing a year back, 25y atm. Joined as APM right out of college. Sometimes I feel I should've done some adjacent role which would could've helped me in understanding how the industry works. Most of the times I work on feature mindlessly.

Many times lead engineers directly come to me for ticket requirements, all though i can deal with them, from time to time i feel like an imposter.

Anyone else feel like they got into PM too early?

Software Developer

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

Note - I am a product manager too

4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), 

Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks)

It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor.

Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.

I am done with this product management shit

Hello everyone! I am currently seeking PM opportunities. I have over one year of experience in building and overhauling internal tools, as well as working with a FinTech client, managing and scaling finance products for over 50 million users across the United States. Due to a lack of work-life balance, I am looking to switch to a position in India, and I am open to both hybrid and fully remote roles. If there are any opportunities in your organization, please let me know!

Seeking PM opportunities

Hi folks,

I work at a startup (been 2 years now) as a PM. From the last 12 months, my work has mostly revolved around strategy, business intelligence, program/general mgmt. I am now planning to quit and move on. However, I am not sure if I want to continue being a PM, because it's very overwhelming honestly and I actually enjoyed the last 12 months as a generalist. 

Need career advice from fellow PMs whether to pursue program mgmt/strategy/general mgmt/Chief of staff/new initiatives roles or devote 100% of my time to prepare for PM interviews and also try to make up for the last 12 months by doing side projects and maybe even interning under a senior PM 

Some pointers about me:

1. I have 2 YoE in PM. 
2. I have a CS degree from a tier 1/2 college
3. There is no particular reason to quit. Job is chill

Hi guys, I have 2 yrs of work ex in an almost pm role in bfsi. I'm working on a lot of things and gaining exposure but many teams  are not structured properly, which makes me slower and limited after a certain point. 

How to propel into product roles? Will hellopm course be helpful? Or some heads-up in a direction will be helpful!

How to level up the pm game?!

I have 2.5 years of experience working as AI Engineer across 3 product based startups. Have worked on 3 distinct products/features. Interested in role of a PM,  and considering to switch. Is it a good time to switch? Will be joining a cohort, reading a few books, case studies, network to learn about PM and interview prep. My current CTC is 14.5LPA,  will I have to take a pay cut if I start as PM? How difficult will the transition be?

Transitioning to PM

Machine Learning Engineer

Profile:
- Engineering degree from a Tier 1 college
- ~3 years of experience in product and analytics in adtech firm
- Currently serving as a lead product analyst, earning around 15 LPA.

Worked tirelessly to switch roles to a Product Manager position, but was denied by management and received an underwhelming appraisal. As a result, I feel that I'm not earning my true potential and feel devalued by my firm. 

I am considering a switch, I would appreciate guidance on whether it's a suitable time to make a change, or if I should wait until the job market recovers.

I am a PMO and very much interested in jumping into PM, any tips for me ?
