I am a Principal Solutions Architect with 13 YOE of which 5 years exp is with Biotech focusing on Public Cloud (AWS) & overall AWS exp. 9 years. I need suggestions /opinions if applying for a Senior Solutions Architect (Level6) at AWS makes sense or if I should aim for a Principal SA (level 7) role at AWS with Healthcare & Lifesciences industry experience. If it makes any difference, I worked for AWS ProServe as an external SA in the past. Any insights / feedback appreciated.

Anyone hiring for a Marketing Analyst position?
Hi all,
I just came to realise Deutsche Bank has a fixed rule of max 30 to 35 % hike on fixed component and remaining 10 to 15% variable i.e. total 50% max hike you can ask for no matter how good, skilled you are.
Is it true?
(I got to know this when an HR called me for a Frontend developer role)

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls. I switched in hopes that will learn the new tech and tools. But now i am starting to forget even the one i knew. Should i go for change or wait a little more time as fractal is reputed in AI/ML? I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?

For now you can do a certification course in any segment like Business Analyst or Product analyst kinda... Then try to land in a job with that Certification leverage. Post that you can do a MBA with Distance education option, so that it doesn't affect your work life/career. This is what I have tried & worked for me. All the best 👍
The most important skill that is required to become a Product Manager these days is understanding and manipulating data.
I would suggest starting with Data Analytics courses. Understanding how to take data driven decisions. This could involve understanding SQL, database management, basic statistics.
2nd most important skill is understanding marketing. This can come from reading some case studies, or you can go for any online PM certification courses.
One important point to note is, Product Management differs greatly from one domain to the other. In whichever domain you have work experience, try to look up Product Manager job descriptions, this will give you an idea, what skills are in demand.
Rest of the skills, like understanding how to maintain jira, being a scrum master, you can learn on the job. It's easy to pickup, and i am sure on whichever projects you have worked on so far, there must have been someone managing the project and the tasks, try to observe them, maybe even help them, so you can learn it quickly. If you have a low budget, there are scrum courses on udemy. If medium to high budget, you can go for Coursera, or a PSM1 from scrum(dot)org.
After all this, try to crack into any company as a Product Analyst. This is best way to move into product management quickly.
Hope some parts of all these suggestions work for you.
All the best.
Thank you for the detailed reply I'll keep this in mind and work towards my goal
Definitely would help if you're less experienced. Even at higher experience people do them and shift but do not expect magic number increase. Couple if ways to move to PMgmt
1. Get strong in the domain and have cert like cbap and apply to companies that are eager ie startups or midsize than multi matrix where they go by the book. Maybe inhouse switch in same co works at times
2. Imposter syndrome/fake it till you make it.
3. Get an expensive degree from ISB, IIM and get placed in campus ofcourse full time.
In that case, if you could afford do the degree. It will fetch you great contacts and very good hike

Years of Experience? do you also do TPM, SCRUM master roles?
I'll keep this in mind
Master jira. Scm certification is the entry level certification.
CSM, TPM and prod mgmt are different tracks. I agree though it could bring you closer but these are different tracks. From, sr. TPM have travelled this
