I transitioned to product management roles from Mechanical Engineering, Sales and Consulting background.


The 5 questions I had were -

  1. I don't know coding. Is this the right fit?
  2. How will my past experience/degree be relevant?
  3. Will my skills and personality fit into this new path?
  4. How will my career in PM vs existing career be (pros/cons wrt remuneration, work life balance, growth etc)
  5. How do I break into PM?


If you resonate with one or more of these questions (either as a fresher or a lateral wanting to switch) , then this session is the right fit for you.


I've mentored multiple candidates and have helped them switch to PM roles.


In this session, we'll work on:

  1. Figuring out if PM is right fit for you (we'll skip this if you already have an answer)
  2. Your short and mid term strategy to switch
  3. How to up-skill, network and which companies to target


**Note: This call is aimed for discovery and career switch plan for a horizon of 2-6 months. In case you want to review your resume or take mocks for an upcoming interview, please enroll in the meetings specific for them (as CV and interviewing skills need special attention and time).
