Switch to PM?

Hello Folks, I'm currently working at Google, and I'm considering quitting for an MBA (expecting admits to IIM-A/B/C) to break into Product Management. Honestly, I'm interested in it for industry exposure, the chance to climb the ladder quickly, and, let's be real, the fat paychecks. I am currently not really earning at the level I should be, even at Google. Could someone with experience share some genuine insights?

Had started my career as a android developer for 2 years. Was fairly good at it. Went for a MBA from IIM K and joined a fintech startup as a PM. Around 5yoe PM now Keep regretting on and off how life could have been as a developer. 1. Crazy salary- esp after covid. Almost every org ways way more to a dev than a PM 2. Lot of options in job market - Unlike PM where demand is far less than supply 3. Specialised role - unlike PM where there is literally no entry barrier 4. Hard skill - unlike PM where everyone keeps questioning the need of the role 5. Chiller life - unlike PM where failures are yours but success is team’s Does anyone else feel the same?

I work as a PM in a B2B SaaS startup and have an overall 4 years of experience all of which is in product management. Now, feeling a stagnant in growth and salary. I was wondering if I should try for an. MBA from IIMs or ISB? My current package is around 36 LPA. I do not want to change my field and I like being a PM. Then does MBA make sense for me in long term?

I suck at tech (or I think so). In the current job market how do I switch to a PM position? What would be pros and cons Earning: 37L base YoE: 4

I hope this post finds y'all well. so I'm currently working as a SDET 2 in a product base startup and my total experience is 4 years and 10 months. now I'm seeking a PM certification course from a reputed institute of India. 1) I want genuine opinions ( preferably from other PMs) as to whether it is the right move to switch from engineering to PM. will it be worth the hassle ? 2) also my current job is remote so are there decent remote PM opportunities or the role demands you to be in the office more ( this Is an important factor) 3) while making the switch would I have to compromise on the package since it's a role switch ? how much hike can I expect like I'm making X right now 20/30% on that ? would really appreciate genuine opinions.

Hi guys, I am a senior frontend dev (lead) with 8 years of experience. Just have a BCA degree from 3 tier college. After years of staring at screen constantly for good 10+hrs, i want to make a move to Non Tech role like PM or Engg Manager Role. Help with what all options do I have to make a switch- 1- MBA from Normal xyz college will give a low yield 2- MBA from Ivy league will take time to crack and complete. 3- PMP course just for the sake of it 4- Pmp course from ISB or Keylogg to actually learn it Currently 33 age, ctc 36lpa fixed. Also, will I be able to get similiar ctc ?

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.

I have 2.5 years of experience working as AI Engineer across 3 product based startups. Have worked on 3 distinct products/features. Interested in role of a PM, and considering to switch. Is it a good time to switch? Will be joining a cohort, reading a few books, case studies, network to learn about PM and interview prep. My current CTC is 14.5LPA, will I have to take a pay cut if I start as PM? How difficult will the transition be?

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.

Hi guys, I have between 5-6 years of experience in engineering role (QA/Test automation). However over these years I have found the role to be unfulfilling due to the growth, impact and visibility. I have been considering going for a full time executive MBA (In India/Abroad) to switch into a PM/Strategy role. Wanted to understand if this is going to be really worth it, considering I will have high chances to start again at an entry level position? Or is this common to do post MBA?
