Switching to Product manager role

Application Development Team Lead

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.

Advice on next career move

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?

Everyone and their mother became a product manager in the last few years. How safe are these jobs in a recession. I often hear (from engineers who don’t hide their disdain for PMs so maybe a biased opinion) that they are the first one to let go. Is that true?

Job market for PMs

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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.

Indian. I am a SDE (backend) currently. ~2 yrs exp. 16 LPA and I work 40-50 hrs a week. I like where I am, but I am not feeling the zeal for tech anymore. Probably will do a MBA down the line (thinking abroad, not sure) 

Looking for equal or greater pay, similar WLB, new domain. Should I switch to PM and try a hand at it? 

Am I aware of the reality or living in my own isolated reality?

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have 3 YOE as a manual tester. I love my job but sometimes it can get monotonous. I've got really good communication and management skills and feel I can do well as a product manager. Is it a good idea to switch in terms of growth? (Please don't suggest automation, I do not enjoy coding at all)

How's the PM job market now

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Software Architect

Hey Grapeviners, 

I need some serious help. 

Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience. 

Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. 

At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. 

Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. 

I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. 

What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? 

Please comment if you can help🙏

Switch from PM to Engineer

Hi PM's

I have been a PM for the last 1.5 years before that I had marketing experience after which I took a career change and landed here

The work I did in PM till now has been quite focused on execution part but not product/strategy neither I developed any kind of product roadmap or was involved.

In job 1 (small company less than 20 workforce) - I spent around 11 months in which I created 3 apps 2 web and one mobile as per business direction and their approach towards customer and market then I changed my job because I was more interested to change my domain since I had spent around 5 years approx in a single domain and also wanting to manage a bit mature product along with to learn product strategy and roadmap and also monetary upgrade

I was the only Pm here spearheading everything below me were QA and project co-ordinator and outsourced developers

In job 2 (A company with around 400-500 employees) - I have spent around 4 months as a PM here it's a new domain their product is a bit mature has thousands of users but again I feel the same as I felt earlier I have been doing more execution work rather than strategy and roadmap or learn any new skills neither I feel the boss is very helpful and he's is the co-founder of the company.

Here also I am the only PM here but tech is inhouse and we have a great bonding in terms of work but everyone feels dissatisfied nor they have learnt anything new since arriving.

There are also concerns at company level which I feel are scary that their goal is to optimize costs from everywhere possible and they have not been paying salary on time plus the upper management is also implementing extreme micromanagement on tech and product function as we all feel like we have been just striking list from sheet in terms of development which we are supposed to complete.

I am again thinking to switch job but the market is not well as it was few months back I am in a bit of dilemma here on what is right and what is not?

Clarity Required

I am looking out for a switch and currently work as a PM with 3 YoE( 7 overall YoE). Are any companies hiring currently for the role? I have heard and read that currently there is a lot of slowdown in hiring. What should the best approach to look out for the role in these conditions?
