Advice/Mentorship

Hey, so to introduce myself. I recently graduated from a new IIM and got into a product manager role at a bank where I have the responsibility of launching a new product. I always thought that I would end up in a sales role and did my internship as a market research intern as well. Now, I have no idea how to proceed with my current role. I have no tech background with a bachelor's in science and MBA in marketing & strategy.

Would like to know if I should stay in this role(tbh I like the tasks) or should I change to sales because a fresher with no tech background would always be at a disadvantage And if I choose to stay, how do I go on from here? What skills/certifications/steps should I take.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If it’s bank, it won’t be too technical. Mostly the PM roles in bank are business or growth centric.

You should try maybe sticking to the role for a year or so as you might end of enjoying. If not, banks generally have open job postings or IJPs to move within the bank so you can any day move to sales but mind you sales is hardcore in bank unless you are in corporate or B2B sales.
