I don't have personal experience but if you have little tech experience have you considered moving to a non-tech role and pivoting to product management within the company? It'll take time and you'll need to proactively learn but i know people have successfully done similar moves.

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

I am currently in sales and I hate it. Does anybody know of any good career paths I could pivot to that I could make a decent salary that is not sales?
