Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

No cert is actually needed in my experience. I made the switch from a non tech background with 1 year of experience and do career coaching on the side. Lmk or DM if you want my calendly

PMP helps but going to your local PMI events is actually more useful - I’ve found that those events are a great place to hear about new roles and network a bit
I moved from project management to product management but took the long and winding path - a faster route for me would have been moving to a product role within the product like I was implementing
You don’t need a certification but product knowledge is a necessity. I would study scrum, agile, and Product owner information
What industries have you been in? It’s easier to transition into a Product Manager role if you already have a strong domain knowledge of the industry that you’ll be working in.
For example, I’ve previously worked as an analyst in Operations for a retail company and I was the SME for all things Accounts/Customer Loyalty Program. So I happened to be involved when the company migrated from one CRM to another and helped train other call center supervisors/agents on how to use the new platform. Later in my career, I became an Product Manager for another retail company that’s trying to do the exact same thing with Salesforce.
I find some hiring managers appreciate diverse candidates who have worn multiple hats before even though most Job Descriptions are pretty explicit about having a couple years of direct experience. But when it comes to domain knowledge, it’s just so much more valuable to have.
