l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday
Is it easy for engineers to become TPMs?

I got my PMP 2 years into consulting. At that point I had 5 years total PM experience from working as a full-time PM prior to consulting. Studying for the certification was incredibly helpful in filling-in the knowledge areas where I did not have as much experience. After getting the certification I was given high visibility project and given the opportunity to lead engagements at new accounts.
Thank you for sharing! I’m about to test for CAPM (only 1.5 YOE in PM) but want to work toward the PMP
Awesome! Understanding the PMBOK framework from early in your career will give you a huge leg up over non-certified PMs.
Some people like to bash on the PMP and think it’s only about waterfall but really it’s a toolkit that a skilled PM can draw from regardless methodology. Don’t be swayed! Good luck!
That’s amazing to hear, thank you so much!
