1) Straight from Business Schools - Folks who go into technology tend to become PMs after their MBAs
2) Internal transfers - Software Engineers switch to PM
3) Management/Technology Consultant -> PM: Folks switch from consulting (where they are implementing products designed by vendors) to becoming PMs in the vendor companies.
- doublescoop 8y agoThe internal transfers is much broader than just SWE to PM, as well. UX designers, technical writers, QA testers, etc. Anyone working on a dev team might start picking up PM responsibilities and make that transition at some point.
