As a business analyst who's working at a bank in technology operations, how likely is it for me to transition to a tech company as a product manager?

It’s possible with intention as there are overlaps. Start by doing your current BA work with product mindset for easy resume reference. Another smooth option is to join tech as a BA/BSA and transition internally.

Thanks!

Get some product experience on your CV.. can you convert to a product analyst? Can you become an associate product manager? I know ppl who are.trying to move from banking to tech and are having a hard time as they are considered culturally tainted by the politiy charged environments and process dominant banks. Show you're a change maker and that you kicked some of the silly web of nomsemse away and you'll stand out :)

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry.

It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.

Anyone work at Upstart or have insights into the company culture and WLB?
