Hi guys!
I have 3 yoe as a UI&UX designer in a service company and now in a product company(startup) . I wanted to know is it possible for designers to become Product Managers without an engineering or mba degree?

Yes, you’ll pick up the skills needed if you continue working as a designer and stick to a specific domain. Thats one way of landing into a PM role. Also, the right way I believe. Cause you’ll be equipped with both domain knowledge and business understanding which an MBA won’t teach.

Hi everyone!

I'm a recent undergrad, just started my first job in July at a data consulting startup, yet 1 month into training (got a Snowflake cert), was suddenly laid off along with half of the firm.

I'm now looking for any opportunities or advice in entry-level data analyst/business intelligence/consulting roles (preferably ones that sponsor OPT/H1B).

My major was Applied Math and Econ. I know R really well and also am familiar with SQL and Python. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello, I have a question that needs your inputs how to handle. I am working with a post-MBA Associate on a project and this person seems to do extra work beyond what the team is asking the rest of us to do. I think during our conversations with the leadership, there were a couple of points that were brought up by the MD but that was not a concrete directive that we need to do because if it is, I would know about it from the chain email since I am staffed to the project.

Although it is working fine, but when we are checking the logs it's taking more than 1 second just to identify that the DB is locked, this is not within our SLA.

In the normal case it's processing within 200 ms.

We're using Spring Boot, Hibernate, Oracle 19c
