Hey Everyone,

I am currently working in Operations and planning to shift into Product Management. I come from a non technical background and not from any fancy college. Do you guys think it's wise for me to try directly into product management or should I try something else first? Like a business analyst or something of that sort and then look for a pivot into product management.

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?
