Ask HN: Product Manager Training
I’m a developer looking to make the move into a product role.
I would like to take a break from work and do some training to prove my interest and gain some credibility with employers.
Are there “bootcamp” style courses for product roles? If you’re a hiring manager, do you pay attention to things like this?
I’m UK based but could potentially travel anywhere for training.
Any personal experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
- ajb 7y agoI've been thinking about this too. Too many roles want developers to be short-order cooks, processing tickets. I'm not sure a product role is the answer for me, but I'd be interested in the answer to this question.
- afarrell 7y agoI've heard nonspecific good things about Mind the Product as a conference. They also do trainings. I know nothing about their quality. https://www.mindtheproduct.com/product-management-training/ https://www.mindtheproduct.com/product-management-training/ If you don't mind sparing a day and £550, maybe go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/communication-alignment-for-product-managers-training-workshop-london-tickets-69000242583 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/communication-alignment-for-pro...? Otherwise, see about joining the London chapter of https://www.meetup.com/ProductTank/events/ https://www.meetup.com/ProductTank/events/ ?
