Hi everyone,

I'm a mid level Software Developer with around 5 years experience working on logistics and ERP products.

During my time as a developer, I have realised that I am very passionate and interest in product design, requirement building and translating business logic into technical designs. I really want to transition into being a Product Manager or Product owner.

Is there anyone out here who has done the same transition? Or any general advice on how to make that move? Thanks 😊

Its a basic thing but start with getting some certifications. Especially if you have a job and your company supports upskilling by paying for them. They give you some level of credibility especially since 5 years isnt a ton of experience. Its usually easier to switch internally where people know you and are willing to give you a chance in a completely new role.
