CSPO cert and a compelling narrative🤷🏽‍♂️

Different skillset. Best bet would be a product adjacent role such as product analytics etc. could also try a startup as they may give you a chance as a product owner. Paycut most likely

I feel like people make a big deal about roles being really different on this platform as if most of us don't do several different roles depending on projects or otherwise change careers multiple times. I am looking to make a similar (ish) move as I am a BA/product owner in a SAFe team and want to move into product manager role at some stage. I am planning to get relevant certifications, highlight the transferrable skills, speak to current product managers about what skills I need to be learning now/what I can highlight in an interview and then also embrace that I have a different skillset. I think a lot of programme Mgmt skills will make you an even better product manager

(I don't just mean in comments here btw, have seen similar responses when I posted a similar question a few weeks back)

Hope this helps: https://productschool.com/blog/product-management-2/transition-product-management-full-scope/

We’re interested in using a product name that is trademarked by another company. The company is still operating but this specific product (of many they have trademarked) doesn’t seem to be performing well or is not a significant part of their business. Has anyone ever approached and negotiated a situation like this? E.g., give equity , trademark assignment, perpetual license agreement, etc? Other than consult legal (we have a IP attorney), curious how other startups approached this.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges
