Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

I made the switch from finance and consulting to PMM. I think it’s mostly about networking and positioning yourself by showing relevant experience and understanding of the market dynamics of the company you’re interviewing for. It also depends on the type of company and PMM team you target, but I think the transition is actually quite easy if you find a receptive hiring leader. Happy to chat more! Send me a DM
PMM is all about mastering the product you’re focused on, conveying the value in a way that solves customer problems, and being able to work cohesively across multiple teams and external third parties. If you can prove deep knowledge of technology you’ve worked with (even from the end-user side), write well, and work well with teams you’re in a good starting place. If you really want to go for it, it could even be worth writing up a couple “sample pieces” on your own.
I went from consulting to PMM. There are a lot of transferable skills, so I’d highlight those. I took on a junior role myself, and saw promotions come by much quicker than expected. It’ll probably be easier to move to an industry you’ve been in.
