Hi PMs,
I need some advice regarding my career progression.

I am a software engineer with 6 YOE earning 22 LPA. My current company does not allow tech to PM shift so I am looking for PM opportunities outside but no luck.

Is it possible to switch from tech to PM roles without prior experience? Should I prepare for an executive MBA?

I have also heard about PM bootcamps like NextLeap, PM School etc. Are they any good?

Please guide me.

What certifications can I earn to increase my market value coming out of college? I’m graduating with a marketing and digital applications co-major and I have 2 HubSpot certs (Digital Advertising and Social Media Marketing) + relevant internships. I’m just trying really hard to get over 50K in Indianapolis (I sincerely can’t afford to accept anything lower) and being a new grad seems to REALLY be working against me no matter what I do. Help :(

CPE question: if I won’t get my license til summer of 2023 does CPE that I earn starting in January of 2023 count? Just want to make sure I know how this works. Thanks

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️
