Hello everyone, I just joined this bowl and have a very basic question. I have a humanities background in terms of academics which means I haven't studied maths or cs as a subject since high school. I'm currently working as an Analyst and recently graduated with a degree in BA Economics and History. I need to know if 1. it's possible for me to transition to a PM role in the next 4 years and 2. if yes, how? Thanks already for reading this far, have a good day!

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
