Transition to PM role🧐
I am a Software Engineer(3-YOE) and want to transition to Product Management role.
Does the ISB PM certifications help us in any form for that or regular MBA is required to get the role.
How much salary can I expect? Currently I'm 7 years into development
If I had to go back 8 years, I would have continued in my dev role.
Why do you want to switch?
Are you a part of a startup(series a,b,c) or a relatively established org?
Relatively established one.
I feel like I'm losing interest in development altogether. I am just losing the interest. So rather than quitting career and trying out something else, I want to try something which atleast interests me.
I think you would have a huge advantage when you get in the market. Although you wouldn't get a job from the standard apply on portals route. You will have to pitch yourself to founders/product heads via dms, case studies etc. Given you have expertise in development, you can also explore positions that are in the middle of core product and development like Technical Program Management, Platform Product Management etc instead of jumping directly to a Business oriented Product role.
There are very few good PMs in the current tech space, especially startups that is polluted by college fresh grads getting into PM. And the ecosystem would always need good PMs with strong technical expertise, so you can do great if you really want to.
Happy to help in the transition in any other way.
All the best.
PM roles are still evolving with varied emphasis on design, tech or marketing inclinations.
As for the constants, it's just communication & critical thinking.
Sounds simple but is a pain to do day in day out.
I'd say join a cohort based education platforms which would have a lot of exercises to fill in whatever gaps you might be happening.
No comments on how the compensation will play out.
Would still be a good pay given your experience in engineering.
Hope it helps.
