Take subscriptions, research, build stuff up. And put it up to display, for everyone. I believe that would get to a better place than certifications. RoI would be much higher in the longer run.

Can you please elaborate on what kind of subscriptions are you referring to

Product Management upskill

Product Management upskill- Grapevine

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.

Hi
I have done my BTech (Tier 1) and MBA (Tier 2). I have 4 years of digital marketing and 2 years of product management experience. Current I work as a Product Owner in a service based company.  My fixed compensation is 19 LPA. 

How should I go about now in my career to scale up the learning as well as the CTC?

Anybody here who has done or has any views on the 12 week course by ISB for product management, is it good or just another gimmick course? Also planning my next move so looking at the next courses to upskill!

ISB product management worth it ?

I hope this post finds y'all well.

so I'm currently working as a SDET 2 in a product base startup and my total experience is 4 years and 10 months.
now I'm seeking a PM certification course from a reputed institute of India.

1) I want genuine opinions ( preferably from other PMs) as to whether it is the right move to switch from engineering to PM.
will it be worth the hassle ? 

2) also my current job is remote so are there decent remote PM opportunities or the role demands you to be in the office more 
( this Is an important factor) 

3) while making the switch would I have to compromise on the package since it's a role switch ? 
how much hike can I expect 
like I'm making X right now 20/30% on that ? 

would really appreciate genuine opinions.

Software Test - QA

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Lately I am seeing a lot of devs transition to product management directly without an MBA. 
Those who have taken that path, is it worth it?

Why did you transition? 
What are some of the things you hadn't consider before making the switch, but faced only after it?
If given the chance, would you continue being a PM or go back to development?

Being a Product Manager worth it?

Any suggestions?

Need Advice

Business Associate

I am a 3rd year student from tier -3 private college, pursuing btech  is it possible to get PM roles just after under graduation, have seen people from tier -1/2 pursuing vague branches like coal mineral sort of engineering and still be able to crack roles as a PM at tech companies . Also one should aim for a role like this after undergrad or just it demands more exp? Also any roadmap you would recommend

PM role after Undergrad ?

Hello All!! Needed some advice with upskilling to further my career in Product Management and add more dimensions to it. 

For some context, I have 4.5+ YoE in the software industry, primarily functional roles including about 3 years in Product Management. 

I want to up-skill myself in some hard skills as I think I have decent exposure in soft skills/functional aspects of PM but lack in the former. 

Have been thinking of the following: 
1. APIs (Conceptual and hands on) 
2. Data Analysis (SQL to be precise) 
3. Low/No Code Tools 

I have about 6 months before I start looking for a new role and want to add these to my profile so as to land a good job. 

Please share your inputs and feedback if these would be useful in a real-life scenario and any other suggestions, if applicable. 

Counting on the advice and thanks in advance :)

Up-skilling as a Product Manager

Hi,

8 YOE, Security engineer trying to switch to PM role. Studied everything related to PM. Joined cohort based course who promised interviews but nothing came. Currently writing cold emails.

I am expert at cyber security who can understand code, write scripts, do front end dev, can design

What should I do to land a PM role?

Trying to find PM role for past 6 months without success. What should I do?

Security Engineer

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?

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?

Project Manager

I have 8 years of experience in sales , business development and that too in India ( so you can understand the work culture)
I have closed many clients some of them are big ones in UAE and USA.

I am looking to move to product management and really want to move to a stable job as I am the only earning member of my family. 
My current CTC is 12.5 lpa

I am looking forward for guidance and any opportunities of that's can help me.

I want to make a career switch into a role that would help me grow professionally and financially. I have experience as a category manager in an edtech and currently work as a Growth Manager in a startup. What roles can i make switch into? Am i underpaid as of now? One of the roles I'm considering is a Product Manager.
YoE - 4
CTC - 13LPA
Graduated in CS but never took a tech role due to some circumstances

Is pursuing an MBA a good choice these days considering the rise of AI?
