Nah not really. Just try to do it internally. Your current manager should support your move and portray you as a hero.

Switching to Product team

Switching to Product team- Grapevine

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?

Associate Product Manager

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?

Hello family, I am working as a Senior Data Analyst currently. I want to transition to Product management. Are the PM courses which are available in the market helpful? All the PM interviews, I had attended asked for relevant PM Experience. I have an MBA from IIM Rohtak. What is the best way? Please give your suggestion.

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello all,
I'm a software engineer at one of the service based companies and I graduated last yr.

 Though I always knew software engineering isn't for me, I still gave it a try hoping my perspective would change when I enter the industry. Bummer! I hate it even more

What I have realised is I don't like to code or spend all day finding a solution to an error. Not to say I don't like problem solving but I simply don't like the problem solving that is required for a great software engineer.

I have been a content writer in the past and enjoyed it. I also helped a small digital marketing agency launch a campaign for a product. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of coming up with ideas that suit the tone of the brand, writing copies and much more.

I'm thinking of switching to a marketing role or anything that aligns with what I have mentioned above.  

My question to you are:

1) Is it even possible to switch without an MBA?
2) If so, What should be my approach to applying to jobs? (Kindly tell me the specific and not just -' Make a stellar resume and apply ' kind of a vague answer)
3) What other roles can I look into?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Note - I am a product manager too

4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), 

Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks)

It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor.

Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.

I am done with this product management shit

I want to progress as an APM.
Currently working in AdTech, open to other industries such as FinTech, Commerce, SportsTech and more!

Please review my resume 🙏🏻

I am a Tier 1 MBA with 3.5 years of tech work-ex in service based company. Will be graduating in mar’23. The on-campus hiring for Product roles is pretty bad right now. How do I land an off campus product role at a decent company with decent pay

Doee anyone knows what is usually asked in APM interview at bankbazaar? Help ya girl out😫

Hey folks

So im looking out for a switch. I have overall 2.5yrs of experience with 1.3 yrs in product.

Im looking for APM roles preferably in Delhi/Gurgaon location, but open to pune, bangalore as well.

Im facing a lot of micromanagement at my current firm from the founder(since he heads product & tech) & i dont have ownership in my role. Even the director of PM shares the same frustration.

I feel like after a year of working here i wont have much to show in my cv in core product work. 

Just to give an example: i started an initiative to call customers for general feedback(satisfaction, whether they actually want what we are doing) & i was told to shut it down & work on things which doesnt have any customer validation.

If there are any opportunities available, kindly reach out. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA🙂

Anyone hiring APMs?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey,
I am SDE with 2YOE getting 10LPA.
Here I could see many folks posting their CCTC as 30LPA, 35LPA or even beyond for 2-3years exp. 
How is it possible? What you guys work with?
How many of you guys have such high CTCs?
Plz share your journey so i can pick up good stuff from it. Thank you

Getting anxious when I look at CTCs!

What are the ideal options out of the PM roles and what kind of profile is required for the same considering I've started my career being a PM only?

Is an MBA required for these roles?
