What do you think How much difficult is it to enter Product Management as a fresher?

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?

I’m an APM in a product based company with a non-tech background. I have two specific questions- 1. According to you, what skills should a non-tech background APM acquire /polish to grow in the PM career? 2. How much of tech understanding is expected? Are there any specific resources that you would suggest?

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) Source for the Snap article: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Snap-revamps-product-org-lays-off-20-PMs-bteQbBib

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?

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
