Any recommendations for great classes or books on Product Management? Also, in your opinion, what skills make a great Product Manager. Is knowing how to code required?

Hi fishes,
I have been working with Cognizant for over 2 years now. The client that I’ve been working with recently asked me to apply for an internal position with them. I did so, however, now the client is saying that they are not planning to disclose this information to Cognizant and that I shouldn’t too.
I am sceptical about this situation. Can I be in trouble for joining the client’s company?

We need an experienced brand writer who can develop business and impress senior clients, and an experienced General Manager-type person to manage the running and marketing of the office, look after clients and develop new business.

Very grateful for any interest, intros or recommendations. Thank you!

On a track for promotion for Q1 but feeling burnt out and like I can’t manage the workload in order to make that happen. I brought this up to my manager and she said “well we probably won’t be able to get you the promo until Q2 then in order to get all the data points needed”. Her point is pretty accurate, but am I crazy to slow down for my mental health and sanity at the expense of delaying promo by 3 months?
