Hi guys, my question is for all the product managers out here. How do you break into product management from an engineering role? Did you guys do an MBA or something? Kindly shed some light on the murky waters.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?
