Planning to switch from strategic account management role which is purely digital marketing operations and started to develop an interest in product marketing roles. Has anyone tried this transition??

Digital Marketing to Product Marketing roles in Tech.

Hi, I have close to 2 years experience in consulting mostly in implementation and support. 

I am looking forward to making a career in product management and would like to know how can someone with no product experience make this transition and land a job? 

Also what would be the best way to make this transition?

Switch to Product

Analyst

I am currently working as a management consultant with a top firm (MBB, Kearney, Strat&, OW equivalent). I'm considering switch to PMM roles. On paper, both PMM and management consulting have some overlap in required skillsets (strong communication, problem solving, stakeholder and project management) but it is still not a popular MBB exit for consultants. Want to understand what's the industry expectation wrt PMM roles and if management consulting experiencd will be valued.

Any further insights from PMM or product/ growth folks will be highly appreciated. TIA.

Consultant

I am an MBA in Marketing and currently working as a Market Researcher. I want to switch to Product Management. 
Suggest a good online course which is not too heavy on my pockets or if I should I consider something else? I’m looking to pivot from MR as the pay I’m getting is peanuts here, extra long working hours without any compensation and too slow of growth, monetarily. Help a brother out. TIA.

Partnership Manager

Hi All, would love to hear your thoughts/ideas/strategies on how to switch from a Senior Customer Success Manager role to a Product/ Project Manager role. 
Brief background - Total Work-Ex 9 years (2.5 years in IT services pre MBA + 6.5 years in Sales/KAM/Customer Success post MBA). Recently have switched few companies in search of better roles/compensation and that also reflects in a negative way in resume. Not able to get even an interview call while applying for PM roles. 
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Recently I have learned a bit of AI and looking to transition into AI product management . Is there anyone with similar experience ? How difficult or easy it is ? And most importantly which companies are likely to hire

Wanted to understand if people have lived from Growth Marketing to product management roles? And if so, how did you guys move?

Has anyone moved from Growth Marketing to Product?

Hello all,
I'm a software engineer at one of the service based companies and I graduated last yr.

 Though I always knew software engineering isn't for me, I still gave it a try hoping my perspective would change when I enter the industry. Bummer! I hate it even more

What I have realised is I don't like to code or spend all day finding a solution to an error. Not to say I don't like problem solving but I simply don't like the problem solving that is required for a great software engineer.

I have been a content writer in the past and enjoyed it. I also helped a small digital marketing agency launch a campaign for a product. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of coming up with ideas that suit the tone of the brand, writing copies and much more.

I'm thinking of switching to a marketing role or anything that aligns with what I have mentioned above.  

My question to you are:

1) Is it even possible to switch without an MBA?
2) If so, What should be my approach to applying to jobs? (Kindly tell me the specific and not just -' Make a stellar resume and apply ' kind of a vague answer)
3) What other roles can I look into?

Has anyone here, moved away from Software Development to something else. Maybe in a completely different direction, like became a graphics designer, or Game developer etc. or in a similar direction, like went towards Product Management or something similar. 

If yes, then I want to know your experience with the switch, and the steps you took to make it happen. 

I got into Software engineering 2-3 years ago (attracted by the salaries) but now I just don’t feel like doing it anymore at all. 

I asked a friend who’s a PM, and his take on this was, if i wanted to keep earning how much I currently do (20-30 LPA), and want to go even further than that, then SDE is the only option, PMs do not get paid that much amount, when compared to SDEs in the longer run. 

What’s your take on this?
