Hi All,

Need help/guidance.

I have around 7.5 YOE in Testing domain(Automation+Functional) and now I want my career to move into Product management. Any idea how can I do that? Like how feasible it is and what kind of certifications etc can help me to achieve this?

Thank you.

Testing domain knowledge will help to start - your understanding with User flows + experience with edge cases scenarios will be very beneficial since you will most probably have execution and delivery as a part of your job initially.

From a knowledge point of view try checking 'Nextleap' fellowship and similar programs - it will cover most you need to start.

Try switching roles inside your current company internally otherwise you can start looking for opportunities outside which will mostly be as associate PM in maybe mid to large organisations. Or you can go to an early-stage company - the role level will depend on the interview and what you can showcase there.

Thank you for the insightful comment. Can you tell me how is the package range for 8-10 years of experience in this field. (Just estimate, I understand that it totally depends on company and interview).

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring.

Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
