product strategy vs product management vs strategy ops- Grapevine

Hi, I'm currently working as a Product Analyst at a promising startup, where I've been working on enhancing product delivery processes, keeping a check on deadlines (part of PMO), and driving client adoption for the past 1.5 years. 

Here my primary responsibilities involve conducting data analysis of projects and tickets, identifying trends and patterns, and providing insights to inform product decisions. However, I'm not directly involved in the core decision-making processes that shape product strategy.

This is my first job and I feel there will be nothing specific that I will own in project management and/or process excellence, there is nothing much to grow in this field, and pretty much anybody can replace this task, *please correct me if I'm wrong. 

I'm particularly fascinated by the prospect of building solutions that will directly impact our clients hence the real world, developing innovative product strategies, and bringing impact to the business. 

I have some questions and seeking guidance. Insights, personal experiences, or any guidance will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

- Should I consider pursuing a product management role?
- Or should I step toward product strategy? 
- If I need to get into product strategy, how can I do that? is an MBA a must for this kind of role?
- Or are there other avenues that might be more suitable for my current skillset and experience?

Looking for answers and guidance on my career.

Product analyst

Can you please define what this role entails? What's a typical day like?

What is product strategy?

Intern

Having worked for 6 years across startups across different roles, I believe it's time to give back to society. Ask me Anything

Tech to product to strategy

Growth And Strategy

Hello viners,

Want to know monetary growth and career growth in product management vs product strategy roles. How would the comparison look like?

Product mgmt vs product strategy

Product Manager

What exactly is this. Every pm role I see seems more like a success role to me (in the b2b industry) for non tech early careers. No actual identification of opportunities to build. 
Ppl in this field do help me out!

Gave an interview for Product Ops at Cred. Didn't convert, but the overall experience was great: 

1. HRs were empathetic and helpful - called after a week to give detailed feedback (covered what they liked, didn't like, what they were expecting)
2. Interviewer was also nice and keen to know more about my experience 

They were expecting a good understanding of growth and metrics, and I didn't have much experience with that, so I got rejected, but overall, it was an excellent experience. 

I have been putting all my recent bad interview experiences here, so why not also put a good one! :)

CRED - Product Ops Interview - Great experience!

Woow you must be someone really in control of your ego. Being able to appreciate a company even after getting rejected is a high quality

Hey folks,
I'm wondering what kinda role I should pursue next after product management. 
I'm done with this role, works vary from company to company and team to team. It's tough to make people understand the difference between pre-PMF products & mature products, and how the metrics impact vary across the spectrum. 
And this completely changes the equation of your appraisal or your promotion as well. 
I don't see myself working in the same kind of role after 5 years.
So I'm wondering what kinda role I should look out for?
My general interests are more analytics & strategy centric. What do you guys think??

Where to go after Product???

Data Analyst

What questions are asked for a product mgmt interview? How can one become a PM without tech background? 
I have product strategy background.
In interviews i am able to ace product sense / product strategy questions but when it comes to tech, unable to show the required tech acumen (due to lack of actual exposure to it).

Should I just stay put in product / business strategy roles or move into product mgmt?

Reasons for moving into PM - want career and monetary growth, build tech stuff and not just strategise stuff. Have 6 yrs experience (2 yrs pre MBA data analytics+ 2 yrs business strategy + 2 yrs product strategy).

Cracking PM interviews?

Was checking springworks' job description as ive heard good things about them. Both roles seemed kind of the same. Can someone guide and tell me abkut the difference?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I ak literally unable to decide between product management and management consulting, i am i last year of my college , i want to build a great career ahead.  layoffs and recession is going on, i talked to product managers and they say it's not that much glamourous as folks on LinkedIn present it and even  you are in a startup  , devlopers first build the core then role of PM comes into play . I talked to few management consultants as well they say WLB is not that great but it's okayish most of the times . I am literally confused, i know the grass is always greener on other side but my long terms goals are money and growth in my early to late 20s and upto early 30s  , the priorities might be change after that.

Guys please help me out to choose better as I have still some months left so I can upskill myself accordingly also it would be great if you could present the future scopes ,growth and ROI in both the fields with the boom of AI.
I am open to suggestions :)

Product management vs management consulting

I last did a full fledged PM Role 5 years ago at an early stage startup (B2B SaaS). Post that moved on to building my own startup, spent the early years exclusively hands on the product (0-1) but last 28 months or so since my cofounder joined, I let him manage the product strategy and lifecycle since I had to take the lead on Sales and other aspects 

My current work with regards to product is more or less product vision and feedback. I feel I need to up my game in building my product skills to a higher level now as the product is getting mature and we are aiming to go global soon. I unfortunately don’t have anyone to mentor at the moment. 

How should I go about doing this ? Do you think going back to something like a product school for a 15 week Program could help ?  The outcome I hope is set myself on the path to become a good Product Strategy leader with reasonable acumen on processes and systems and at the same time translate the learning to help scale the product better.  

Would be happy to take some ideas or places to look at for one. TIA

I have been looking for a product role for a long time. My profile and experience are not suitable for a product management role. But I have realized that I have a good hold on operations stuff. 

Need your opinion on how a product ops manager role as a career option? Does it have the potential to be a demanding career in the future?

Product ops as a career?

A lot of startups that are losing money tend to have a lot of strategy roles run by ISB/IIM folks. What do they really do? Can they really do any sales or is it just a strategy?

Consultant

"How do you look after any program from start to end that comes to you? How do you prioritize? What was the product process you followed?"

I explained the exact thing that i have followed in my previous company as a PM intern but the interviewer did not like the answer (maybe my structuring was wrong or maybe my way of communication). 

I want to understand from the experienced folks - how would they approach this question if they were asked this in an interview?

If this question is asked to you in a product management interview. What do you answer?

How to transition from engineering to product management?

4yoe Engineer turned Product Manager. It's been 8 months I joined this B2B SaaS startup as an APM. Engineering team... mostly interns. Most of my time goes into execution following up with devs. Is the PR reviewed, is the bug fix deployed. No Jira, scrum, sprint planning whatsoever.

CEO runs the whole show. Only fear driven product management. I have no idea what it means to work on vision or strategy. My career has started off with a shitty foundation. Everyday I feel like quitting. What should I do? Quit right away or wait n switch to a better company?
