Starting my journey as a technical product manager in a data analytics firm in bangalore. Any pointers?

Hi everyone, I am Ritayan, 34M. I come from a QA background having more than a decade worth of experience in testing, automation and management. Have extensive knowledge and experience working in products like apps, websites, data engineering projects and generative AI projects. Been trying to move to TPM roles since some time. Got the break recently. This role would involve interacting with clients for requirements and eventually deliver the product hands on with the dev team. Pretty excited to start this new journey. Have nay pointers for me that can help me be better at the role? Please shoot away. Maybe it can help folks in similar situation like me. Thanks!

Looking for answers and guidance on my career.

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?
