How can a PO transition into Product Management role?

Product Owner is the role defined in scrum. The product manager is supposed to play this role along with other responsibilities. So if you are PO you are already into product management.

Some companies especially legacy companies have this practice where they will split this role with PM being market/customer focused and PO being team focused. This is not good thing.

100% agreed. Wish I knew this before joining where I'm right now. So brief and so revealing.

Any clue how is Vodafone Idea Limited from this perspective?

Make sure your product development aspects are managed and are intact; then extend the thinking about the macro aspects - Competition, market, the users and other market facing aspects. Bring those insights into your product

join an accelerator where they formally teach you Product Management like in 6 - 10 weeks and then you can avail their job services to hunt Product Management jobs.

Another way is to do internal switch within your company and ask to give a Product Manager role if it's open.

Do you have first hand experience of any of these platforms?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
