Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey there! So, I work as a Project Manager at an MNC, and I've been in the industry for about three years now. 
I started off working in Engineering/Computer Networking for around 1.10 years before moving to an internal Project Manager role. 
But, now I'm itching to shake things up and move into the Product Manager/Product Owner world. 
Do you think it's doable? And, if so, how can I make it happen? Would love to get some advice!

Proj Man --> Prod Man- Grapevine

Hey there!

So, I have a friend who's currently an Associate Project Manager at an MNC. 
He's been doing the technical thing for 1.10 years and recently moved into the APM role. (YOE:2.5ish)

The thing is, while the pay and work-life balance are good, he's not feeling all that jazzed about his work and wants to level up his career. 

He's got his sights set on a Consultant/Product Manager gig and wants our help to make it happen!

Here are a few questions we have, and we'd love to hear your thoughts:

1.Would it be worth it for him to go for an MBA, particularly at ISB, to snag that Consultant/Product Manager role?
2.Are there other ways he could make the transition without having to go back to school?
3.How do Project Manager salaries and work stack up against those of Product Managers?

Any insights or tips you could share would be much appreciated. 
Let's help this dude rock his career!

Transition to PM role🧐

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

AMA 🎙️: Hey all, I am pmsprint, Director of Product Management at a Unicorn in India!

Product Manager

I am a software engineer with 2 yrs of experience.
I am kinda fascinated with the developing idea of project than developing the product. I want to switch to product management which I think somehow doing it my current job except giving the idea.

I like to innovate solutions and implement then in the real world and I want people to use it. I think this would be the right path to get started into it.

Doing an mba is also good option but I think moving to pm role will be a good option .
It’s to crack it but not impossible.

I am not sure how the feature would be for this career.

I am a Product analyst; want to move into Product Management, how can I?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I applied for the opening at JPL (Jio Pvt Ltd) in June of last year. Received the interview call on 4th July and concluded the entire process with the final HR round on 17th August (already painfully slow).

This was followed by a period of complete silence from the HR's end, which finally broke on 30th September (after probably 30+ follow-ups) when they gave me a verbal offer and gave me confidence for the final offer release within a few days.

Well, the final offer came on 27th December 2023, close to 3 months after the verbal offer (again, after probably 40+ follow-ups). Joined on 16th January 2024 (due to some emergency), and was treated to a GREAT campus in Navi Mumbai. --And this is probably where everything good with JPL ends.

After spending 2 days, I understand that things are not what I expected from any Product organisation, and that I made the wrong decision. 

Gave myself 30 days to ensure the feelings were backed by more experiences, and I'm not acting impulsively. Day 31, I started interviewing with other organisations, and fortunately was able to get in touch with the HR from another organisation that I rejected for Jio, and they were kind enough to resend the offer letter.

Dropped the bomb on 8th March 2024, startling everyone because people usually don't like leaving their comfortable lives at Jio. My L1 and L2 aligned on a 14 days notice period, but the "smartasses" in the HR department thought its a great idea for me to serve the entire notice period of 60 days, and thus I'm stuck here till 6th May 2024.

Opening the forum for people with any amount of experience to ask questions about the hiring process, the culture, the turn-off, the decision to quit, ANYTHING.

I have been sooo interested in Product Management, as an outsider with no technical knowledge but all the passion for it.
I intended to become a Product Manager taking the hard route (non technical background), but at this point I am still looking to learn more about it. Please share your thoughts, experience and tips?

What do you guys do?

Marketing Manager

Hey guys, I’m from a non-tech background working in sales (with MBA) & looking to get into PM role. Can grapevine family help/share some tips as to how can I switch to PM role?

TIA.

Product Mgmt. Role

Account Manager

I see a lot of product managers come from an engineering background. They have worked for a few years as an engineer before making the transition. I want to understand the factors that led to the to make the switch. 

Also, how has that turned out after moving to product management? Did you find the things that you were looking for?


PS: It is also common knowledge that PMs are paid less than engineers.

Transition from Project Management to Product management

Consultant

I am 7 years experienced professional from engineering background. I have worked as a developer, program Manager/Scrum master and transitioned to Product Manager role in a startup from last two years.

I have excellent stakeholder management skills and proficient in prioritisation and getting things done no matter what. I’m obsessed with customers requirements and building a meaningful product/feature for them.

Currently I take care of the Checkout/Payments of an e-commerce startup.

If you aren’t hiring it would be great if you could refer or share openings with me given that those are real openings not just like LinkedIn that you never hear back.

My salary is <25 lpa and I don’t have an any extra ordinary demands. Location is not a constraint for me.
Notice period - 30 days.

Anyone hiring Product Manager?

Hey all, I'm seeking some advice and guidance from this amazing community. I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and would appreciate any insights from those who have been in a similar situation.

For the past 12 years multiple domains like Business, Digital marketing, Ui Ux & digital transformation, lastly 1.5yrs back I had the opportunity to become a founder of a startup where I handled both product and marketing. Unfortunately, that venture didn't find PMF, but I gained valuable experience in the process.

Now, I'm considering whether to pursue a career as a product manager or product marketer.

Also i didn't borrow any salary from the startup will it have any negative effects & how to mitigate them?

Lastly based on the above background what would be the ideal package to go for?

How much salary can I expect? Currently I'm 7 years into development
