I am a soft dev as well, although freelance, and plan on transitioning to management or focus on a startup. Product manager was one of my thoughts - but what is your thoughts behind it - why that route?
- soneca 9y agoI became a web dev just last year (at 37yo), before that I had worked with startups (marketing and as a founder). So I always was interested in creating and improving digital products. I am pretty happy with the day-to-day activities of a software developer, but I miss talking to customers, creating spreadsheets and reports to reach business decisions, understand how a product solves a problem, etc. I am still not sure about the transition, but I would like to learn from other people about it.
- jczhang 9y agoHey, I'm also a software dev interested in transitioning to PM as well. As I understand it, you'll have to do it either internally, via an MBA, or have someone else maybe who is already a PM / senior PM help you get in. That's my thoughts anyways.
