PM's responsibility is it ensure product success. Mostly its found in tech companies but now in non-tech as well. Developers develop, designer design, PM .ensures they are developing the right product. What is a right product? One that meets the user needs and helps rhe company achieve business outcomes.  
 The final buck stops at PM for the product.  
 Skills required: customer/requirements understanding, data analysis, ui/ux , communication, problem solving, common sense, leadership, foresight, strategy, execution and many many more.  
 It's a generalist role and not for everyone.

Product management career

Indian. I am a SDE (backend) currently. ~2 yrs exp. 16 LPA and I work 40-50 hrs a week. I like where I am, but I am not feeling the zeal for tech anymore. Probably will do a MBA down the line (thinking abroad, not sure) 

Looking for equal or greater pay, similar WLB, new domain. Should I switch to PM and try a hand at it? 

Am I aware of the reality or living in my own isolated reality?

Switch to PM?

How is the Product Management market in India?
I have been hearing that compensation for PM roles are coming back to pre-Covid times (a few exceptional people I knew got laid off but found higher paying opportunities within weeks)

Hi PM's

I have been a PM for the last 1.5 years before that I had marketing experience after which I took a career change and landed here

The work I did in PM till now has been quite focused on execution part but not product/strategy neither I developed any kind of product roadmap or was involved.

In job 1 (small company less than 20 workforce) - I spent around 11 months in which I created 3 apps 2 web and one mobile as per business direction and their approach towards customer and market then I changed my job because I was more interested to change my domain since I had spent around 5 years approx in a single domain and also wanting to manage a bit mature product along with to learn product strategy and roadmap and also monetary upgrade

I was the only Pm here spearheading everything below me were QA and project co-ordinator and outsourced developers

In job 2 (A company with around 400-500 employees) - I have spent around 4 months as a PM here it's a new domain their product is a bit mature has thousands of users but again I feel the same as I felt earlier I have been doing more execution work rather than strategy and roadmap or learn any new skills neither I feel the boss is very helpful and he's is the co-founder of the company.

Here also I am the only PM here but tech is inhouse and we have a great bonding in terms of work but everyone feels dissatisfied nor they have learnt anything new since arriving.

There are also concerns at company level which I feel are scary that their goal is to optimize costs from everywhere possible and they have not been paying salary on time plus the upper management is also implementing extreme micromanagement on tech and product function as we all feel like we have been just striking list from sheet in terms of development which we are supposed to complete.

I am again thinking to switch job but the market is not well as it was few months back I am in a bit of dilemma here on what is right and what is not?

Clarity Required

I am a 3rd year student from tier -3 private college, pursuing btech  is it possible to get PM roles just after under graduation, have seen people from tier -1/2 pursuing vague branches like coal mineral sort of engineering and still be able to crack roles as a PM at tech companies . Also one should aim for a role like this after undergrad or just it demands more exp? Also any roadmap you would recommend

PM role after Undergrad ?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am currently a Product Marketing Executive focusing heavily on content aspects. But I wish to go full stack PM and scale my PMM career. 
What’s the best course of action?

How can I scale my career from content to product marketing?

Growth Manager

Would you rather be an Engineer learning how to Product or a Product Manager learning how to Engineer?

Answer is obvious mate. And it's already in motion. 
 Everyone knows current product management breed is a messed up fraudulent bunch. They will run into poverty if they don't change ways🙂

Hey guys, I’m from a non-tech background working in sales (with MBA) & looking to get into PM role. Can grapevine family help/share some tips as to how can I switch to PM role?

TIA.

Product Mgmt. Role

Account Manager

Hi guys, I am about to graduate in a month(Btech,NIT-Civil). I am adept(skilled) in data analysis, Product roadmapping, Feature prioritisation, UI/UX etc. I also have a PM internship experience. The problem is I am unable to land any product analyst/  APM full-time roles. Any suggestions, guidance will be of great help.


Thanks guys,

Landing a PM role

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof

2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. 

Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings )

Market correction is necessary.

Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What's wrong with salaries

If you are paid less, don’t extrapolate it on others. If they are willing to wait, let them. You should keep praying for “corrections”.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Do you think pure product managers with no technical background add value to your company? Aren't experienced project managers with penchant for business more suitable for this role?

Do you think product managers with barely 2 years of experience required in your company?

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

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

What is PM? What's the requisite skill set?
