Good afternoon fishes,

I'm presently working as a product manager in an Edtech firm with 15 lakh CTC. I graduated from Tier 1 institute and have 7 years of work experience across FAANG companies, Group A state government post and a startup. Do you suggest I go for a one year full time MBA PGPX at IIMs A, B, C or ISB? Going further, I would like to grow into a senior product management processional.

Hello there,

If you are passionate about Product Management and learning-based growth is what you are looking for, I would suggest joining an early-stage startup.

The early-stage startup has fewer people and more opportunities. You can pick the additional roles you can juggle with the Product Manager role. Founders are always looking to rely on early employees and leave the communication channels open so you can discuss ideas and hear the rationale behind decisions (both successful and failed).

After you gain this experience, the next step would be to focus on networking so joining a PGPX program at ISB would put you on the radar of ISB Alum who are in senior roles at companies of all scales and sizes.

This is a typical 3-5 year roadmap that you would have to commit to.

Good Luck!
