I am a decent software developer with 12 yrs of experience and want to move to engg management. Is it possible to do so while switching job? I don’t see that happening in current company which is I believe is easy and ideal way to move into mgmt.

I do not have managerial experience but in my current company I see I can contribute on those fronts but someone else is already being considered for the managerial position.
I am working in a product company.
Can moving to service company give me opportunity to move to management? Is it even a good idea?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm relatively early in my career, and has been working as a Program Manager (it doesn't mean that I have anyone reporting to me). I love what I do. The pay is also decent. 

I also like software engineering (app development mainly). I used to code regularly and has got some apps on the Play Store as well (hobby projects, not big). 

I'm confused whether I should continue as a Program Manager (going down the managerial route) or switch to a Software Engineering role. I feel like I should get some software engineering experience before being in a role working closely with Software Engineers. But, another thought is why move away from something that I love doing. 

I'm a bit scared on taking a decision (grass would always be greener on the other side). I don't know anyone like me in the same route.

Note: I work at a fortune 50 organisation, awesome team/manager, and all of them are completely supportive of whatever decision I make. 

My manager is happy to help me grow in any direction (both at the same time as well), but spending energy on one would yield better results. 

Age: <25
Education: B.Tech (no MBA)
Exp: ~ 2 years

Note: I would definitely love to be a good manager down the lane (always liked working with people). 


(I don't want to make this into a thread to fight on coding v/s non coding roles)

Managerial Role vs Engineering Role

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

Engineering Manager route v/s Staff/ Principal Software Engineer

Hi,

I am planning to join Microsoft India next month as a SWE 2 (L61/L62) and I am pretty excited about it. I have aspirations and dreams to moving to US (I know its not that amazing and India is great but I wanna go due to family).
I know if you are lucky and spend enough time in a company, such as Amazon, you may get that chance. I used to work at Amazon IN but I was laid off cause JWO.

Can someone working at Microsoft India, make this move in lets say 2-3 years or more if they perform well, keep their manager informed about these plans and lurk for opportunities.

I very well know that the answer may be a big NO but I thought to just ask for opinions.

Thanks in Adv

Thinking of switching to Product management and similar level roles.
I have around 9 years of exp in Saas production implementations.
Current organisations doesn’t have any such opportunities. 

What’s the best way to move forward here! Even open for 5-6 months on campus course. 

Please advise.

Genuine opinions needed

Hey people,
   I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. 
   For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA?
   What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

Thinking of switching to non-tech(leadership) from tech

I have 3 YOE as a manual tester. I love my job but sometimes it can get monotonous. I've got really good communication and management skills and feel I can do well as a product manager. Is it a good idea to switch in terms of growth? (Please don't suggest automation, I do not enjoy coding at all)

Hey all

I am a working as a technical product manager from 2+ years in a nbfc. My manager has given me the option to switch to business product manager.

Reason for switch : Our product (LOS and LMS) is a complex and extremely large. Due to this, I had asked for a additional product manager. Manager had hired it reluctantly. Now he feels that product does not require 2 products. 


Has anyone done such switch? How was the experience? Should I switch or should I deny?

Hey everyone,
I am kinda product guy. Since my 3rd year this industry fascinated me. I have done 1 year as a software developer with fintech and edtech startup after graduating from IIT Bhubaneswar. Since two months i am thinking i can add more value in product management rather than product development. Please share if you have any leads.

How to go 5X from here?

How can I make my transition to PM possible? I do not have a Computer Science background but an MBA.

What skills/exp do I need to switch to PM? How to apply for a PM role with a Product Analyst based Resume?

TIA for the tips and guidance

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

I’m working at an Indian startup that raised their series B recently... I’ve been here long enough to wear multiple hats and currently doing Solutions consulting(fancy way of pre sales)

Now as the company is getting out of early stage, it looks like now they want more specialists. So I’ve been asked if I’d want to continue doing solutions engineering or switch to being a manager in CX(onboarding, support or success)….cant become a manager in SE as there are very limited no of folks here. I’d want to know if folks here have some guidance on when should one look to switch the path from an IC to a Manager career ladder.

Some additional info:
1. Personally I feel I should top out my compensation range as an IC before taking a manager role as my assumption is managers don’t get paid highly in India (let me know if that’s not the case)
2. I’ve more than 7 years of professional experience 
3. Fairly good with people and would like to go the manager route someday but I feel if I switch now it might hamper my long term earning potential. Is this thinking right?

Would appreciate any help that folks can provide to be able to make this decision. Or any guidance on how to think about this as well(if I’m being shortsighted).  TIA!
