Truth, that is certainly the best way to learn. However, not all of us given that privilege without experience

It depends on what coast you’re on and what you want to get out of it. On west coast, Product School is more renowned, though I heard it’s more focused on how to interview, tailor your resume to get noticed, not actually job skills. But they get cool guest speakers from major companies. On the east coast, Pragmatic Marketing Product Management cert is well recognized, which I got. I got a lotttrt out of it, including how to write business cases, user problem detection techniques, and getting at the heart of product management. Definitely worth the $3-4K. There are also some online ones, but I didn’t find much value there. At the end of the day, companies don’t give certifications as much weight as on the job experience. But you carve your own destiny.

Thanks folks! Just talked to them and they generally have in-person classes in 4-5 major cities along the west coast, although understandably won't until likely mid-next year (2021). Will be joining when the world opens up again. Thanks for the recommendation. See you in class 🥳

Depends. Relatable experience first so something Analyst and preferably with customer interaction, if there is a role called Sales Solution Analyst they'd probably be the best in terms of base skills into the career pipeline in my mind.

If you don't have relatable experience first go and get it somewhere or start as an associate.

Reordering the ones I have for different different focuses:

CSPM? But it won’t help that much with applying and not worth the price tag imo.

I feel like during the interviewing process you may have multiple interviewers and processes that go along with that, which means you may need time to compare offers. I want to be honest with the recruiter and say I am going to have to wait and compare offers when they are all on the table, which would be ~1 month.

Looking for advice.

started a new PM role 4 weeks ago only to realise that the entire PM function is done by various other people inside the department. I have tried bringing up the discussion with my line manager without making it into a complaint (since i’m so new, and i want to be flexible) but i’m getting the impression that even my manager doesn’t know what a PM is or does. (He asked me if the roadmap should sit with the scrum master amongst other comments)
