One I am aware of is iim kozhikode PM course. So need to know more good courses/certifications like this.

Project Coordinator

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

What are the possible pathways to take for a BA transitioning into Product Manager role?

Any courses/guidelines will be helpful.

Transition to PM

Business Analyst

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

Career Dillema | PM feels overwhelming

Product Manager

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

Hello everyone,

I'm a non-engineer who's been working as a PM/APM for roughly 1.5 years.
 I wanted to know what kind of course (short or long) could help to progress in a product management career (especially if I'm targeting to work in the sports/gaming/fitness/entertainment industry in and around Mumbai or anywhere remotely)

Would really appreciate inputs from experienced PMs

Pathway to Progress in PM Career

I am looking to upskill in different aspects of PM. 
Looking for feedback if anyone has tried-
1. Reforge
2. Exponent
3. Bijan exercises (product management exercises dot com
4. Shreyas videos

Evaluating courses for PM upskilling with 2 years of exp.

I have 7+ years of experience as a QA Engineer but am not willing to continue in this field. Thinking of switching to PMM riles what should I do where should I start

Career Switch from QA to PMM

I’ve probably seen 15+ young, impressionable college students fall prey to PM course scams in the last month only. PLEASE DO NOT JUMP INTO COURSES THINKING YOU’LL END UP IN PRODUCT MANAGEMENT FOR LONG. Please build some hard skills - SQL, Analysis, Figma, basics of python, basics of APIs, prompt engineering etc first. APMs who don’t have any hard skills and are only good at user journey, product sense, bettering a product, etc., would be massacred very soon. Shift to PM after some work experience. I’m getting my LinkedIn flooded with requests which look similar - 

Hi , I’m enthusiast about PM, read a few Nir eyal, Theils, have worked as an intern on <Unknown Product> and would like to apply for Position at your company. I’ve done blah blah courses and feel I’d be a good fit. NO YOU WON’T. Please save yourselves. :(

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

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 ?

Business Development Manager

Hi folks,

I work at a B2B SaaS company (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 whether to pursue program mgmt/strategy/general mgmt/Chief of staff/new initiatives roles or devote my time to prepare for PM interviews and also try to make up for the last 12 months.

Some pointers about me:

1. I have a CS degree from a tier II college but haven't coded in a while.
2. There is no particular reason to quit. The job is chill & remote. 
3. The head office is in the US. There is a possibility of moving to the US as well in the next 1 year.
4. The pay is fine. Not the best out there but decent

Hi, I know it’s a much debated topic but I wanted honest views of my fellow grapers/viners/grapeviners. How valuable is an MBA as a PM? What are the trade-offs - MBA vs Non MBA? Does it affect the career 10 years down the line?

About myself: I’ve 3.5 years of work experience as a PM in the BFSI sector. I did my engineering from a tier 1 institute and started my career as a PM. Currently wondering what to do next. The learning experience in the current company has been below par as of today with no signs of improvement. I would like to explore VC, PE but I’m happy with PM too. 

If you are pro MBA, bonus points for suggesting any relevant courses. If against, then please suggest any upskilling resources 🙌🏻

TIA
