Has anyone been able to make the transition from a Product Manager to Product Design? Been interested in this role but sure what it takes.

Product design or UX design? Either way, I'd recommend starting with some online coursework to get your feet wet. It also helps to know people, so start making some connections with others in that field. Ideally, with people at your current company, but LinkedIn and other networks are ok as well.

UX design is in high demand, and it is a well-paid career with many perks! I did some online courses, and I'm hoping to get a job in tech soon!

I've been thinking about the same thing. Personally, I'm afraid that it won't be exactly what I envision. I've been considering reaching out to someone else in my company who is working in product engineering to see what steps they would recommend and what they feel are the pros/cons. I'm glad you asked -- hoping to get some more insight too!

This is my exact worry. I love being a PM but my current role and company does not give a lot on getting my creative juices flowing. Maybe it is a case of company fit for me.

In what industry are you trying to transition? Product design requires more technical skills.

So I’m a Integrations PM for a Threat Intel Platform mostly working on api mapping. Have been in the security space for about 5 years so looking for new when it comes to industry.

So I considered the same thing early last year and decided to stick it out as a Product Manager. Reason being: boredom and burn out. I was met with an "are you sure...?" from EVERY product designer I met with when soul-searching this very same career-move. My advice: find out exactly how designers operate within your company, what their day looks like etc. and go from there.

I think that's the question to answer first, I would explore other companies and see how the role shapes out before jumping into something different. Often it's the company rather than the role itself
