I would say looks specifically for openings in Supply Chain product management. If a company is looking for MBA, look for another one. Eventually, with experience requirement of MbA won't matter.

How important is a MBA degree for the role of Product Manager

Product Manager

Hi, I'm currently working as a Product Analyst at a promising startup, where I've been working on enhancing product delivery processes, keeping a check on deadlines (part of PMO), and driving client adoption for the past 1.5 years. 

Here my primary responsibilities involve conducting data analysis of projects and tickets, identifying trends and patterns, and providing insights to inform product decisions. However, I'm not directly involved in the core decision-making processes that shape product strategy.

This is my first job and I feel there will be nothing specific that I will own in project management and/or process excellence, there is nothing much to grow in this field, and pretty much anybody can replace this task, *please correct me if I'm wrong. 

I'm particularly fascinated by the prospect of building solutions that will directly impact our clients hence the real world, developing innovative product strategies, and bringing impact to the business. 

I have some questions and seeking guidance. Insights, personal experiences, or any guidance will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

- Should I consider pursuing a product management role?
- Or should I step toward product strategy? 
- If I need to get into product strategy, how can I do that? is an MBA a must for this kind of role?
- Or are there other avenues that might be more suitable for my current skillset and experience?

Looking for answers and guidance on my career.

ecently, have seen 5+ posts on LinkedIn, about Google hiring for different products like gen ai, security and education. 

In job portal, they haven't mentioned about MBA or any specific requirement apart from yoe. Wanted to know, what does Google wants in a PM, and what is the salary range for a PM there, if they need a 4 year experienced product manager?


Also, how are these criterias soft or quite rigid?

Hey. I have close to 6 years of Experience in Sales and Customer centric roles but recently I have developed an interest in Product Development. For reference, I have an Engineering degree in Computer Science and MBA as well. 

A few questions for clarity: 

1. Is it possible to make this transition into a Product role at this stage of my career? 
2. If I want to teach myself the skills of a product manager, how should I start and what resources should i refer to, to begin with that can start the learning process?

Senior Data analyst to Product manager transition

Data Analyst

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?

Hi,

I'm a Marketing Analyst at a tech startup currently. I have a previous experience of working as a Demand Analyst (gauging demand of products through data analysis and market research), 4 years of experience in starting my own business (non-tech) which didn't work, and over a year of experience in my current job (learnt PM skills like wireframing, and user research). Current organization has no Product team.

I've been trying to get an APM role for a while now but to no success as most want Product experience or an Engineering degree. Would it be advisable to keep at it for an APM role or get a business analyst job and look to become a PM later? Do companies hire for PMs without a solid Product background and an engineering degree?
