I just managed this switch - going from Deloitte Digital to Product Management at Meta (IC5) in a couple weeks. Also had an offer from Google for S&O (L6) but decided to go the PM route. Happy to chat and help anyway I can - feel free to DM.

Hi D1 - I am looking to make the switch from management consulting to PM in tech, and wondering how to polish my experience on the resume to get the interviews, more specifically most JDs require prior PM experience that I don’t have, although I have a CS background and have worked closely with SWEs on different roles. Would you mind sharing your prior experience and how it was presented in your resume? Thanks a lot!

How did you get interviews for PM roles? I consider making the transition but dont exactly know where to start. Looking for guidance

Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
