Product to Analytics switch

How does one move from Analytics to Product Management roles? I have ~2.5 years experience in Business Analytics. Recently I have been working on ML use cases as well. I also have product analytics experience. I really feel like I would do better in a PM role because working on a product end to end really excites me and I can use my analytics experience in that role as well. Bur how does one do this transition? Do companies accept your CV if you have nil PM experience but still wanna move into this role? Anyone who has made this transition, could you comment how you did it?

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.

Hey everyone, I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and seeking advice. I have 3.5 years of experience in social media analytics and make 6.5LPA. My academic background is a little messed up as I dropped out of engineering to study BBA. I'm passionate about technology and am trying to decide between a career in product management or analytics. I'm also planning to apply to business schools this year. I'm wondering where I can make more money in the long term. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had 4+ yrs of experience in Data and moved to PM role in US Startup a year back. The pay is great. But I'm not doing the product management work here. I'm doing a general project management kind of work. Pros: Good pay Got the role of PM. I chose this opportunity only because of this role. Now I'm planning to change job and get into Indian startups. I can manipulate my responsibilities to describe for a PM role. But will I get enough opportunity with this background - Moved from analytics, experience in US Startup, no real product work (but I can update that) or should I go back to Analytics only. Please comment.

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?

I'm working as a technical product manager who has transitioned from analytics/data science role with over 5+ yoe and 2yoe as PM. I am earning in the range of 35-55LPA right now. While I am happy with the salary, I am not content with the role I have performed as PM so far. When I go for textbookish PM tasks and roles, I feel I don't do so much in my daily routine. Because of the nature of companies I worked in I didn't get a lot of hands on exposure into UX and the growth side of the job. I don't have a lot of confidence with many areas of product management and feel like at this stage for me to grow needs a significant skill and confidence boost. To do the same I'm looking for courses/degrees. I'm hoping to get more better opportunities if I have certification in my portfolio. What are your thoughts on the topic? Also, if you could suggest whether Hero vired certification in product management partnered with INSEAD will be a good choice? I will really appreciate objective feedback / frameworks that will help me with making the decision.

Hi All, I need advice from experienced folks here. I joined a recruitment firm working in blue collar around 6 months back as a Product Manager. Around 4 months into the system, I was tasked to build the business intelligence system (it has been ongoing). My manager asked me to whether I want to continue in data and build core skills in data analytics based on my interest and what plans for career. I am a little confused here since I haven’t tried real Product per se and although I enjoy working with data I am not sure whether to build career as a BA and if I can build data competency working as a PM. I need to get back to them by next Tuesday. What are your thoughts here? Please be brutally honest, will appreciate pros and cons Thank You!

I am currently working in a non-tech related role after MBA for 3 months.Had previous work experience in tech as application support engineer.Is it possible for me to switch to product management related roles given current market situation?

To give a brief background, I did BTech in biotechnology from a tier 2 college which I soon realised didn’t have any interest in. Currently 24YOE I took up a job as an operations analyst at a series b funded startup. Worked on internal tools + gsheets + SQL(basic select queries). Became expert of this internal tool but realised the skill and knowledge isn’t transferable. Got promoted to project analyst within a year and started handling internal teams + client comm. gave 1 year to this position. Currently at 8LPA Now I am looking to switch and unable to understand which way should I go. Have interest in business strategy + data related work.
