Has anyone here transitioned into product marketing from a PR role or some similar area like content marketing, brand, or creative? How did you make it happen?

Following. I’m considering making the same switch.

so it can be done, I've seen people switch. You essentially have to connect back your experience of getting placements, coverage etc and what kinds of products you've worked on in the past. That helps connect the two

Transitioned from a PR/AR Manager to product marketing. CEO requested me for the role - first ever PMM at the company. Easy move. Built the company’s product marketing discipline from the ground-up. Prove that you’re a strategic thinker who’s also a good communicator and you’re set.

It's actually a pretty seamless transition. PR, branding, content strategy are very pivotal parts of marketing, so you will just expand on what you already know.

Hi recently I was interviewing few candidate for ML engineer and business analyst profile.
Got few candidate (total 6) schedule for that role on lever.
Took interview of 2 of them on day 1 and rest 4 on day 2.
4 out of 6 were from Mindtree.
And none of them were actually the one which they portrayed on resume.
They were liers, they don't even know basic sql, python forget about stats.
Have anyone recently faced the similar situation with Mindtree people ?
