Hi friends,

I'm hoping to transition into Product Management, I'm currently a Product Operations Analyst. Any tips on making this pivot; certifications, courses, networking, etc.?

Agile cert is all u need. Then experience

might not even need the cert if your company is waterfall based

I don't think you necessarily need a certification. You need someone willing to let you make product decisions which include thinking about the "why" and the "what" behind new features, etc. It's a mindset shift for sure. I'm not sure if a certification will help you, but maybe taking a class or 2 in PM would be helpful?

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
