Take a class / bootcamp in Product Management so you start to learn the fundamentals.

I recommend General Assembly. You could land something after their PDM class.

With under 3 YoE you’d be looking at an Associate Product Manager role - start looking at the requirements of this role and how you can use your current work + education to achieve the reqs.

Thanks for the info. I have been considering doing an MBA but do you think an MBA would in any way make me a stronger candidate for PM role?

At your stage - I believe MBA will set you up well for Product Management roles. I’ve seen a lot of PM roles ask for MBA or requisite experience.

If you are an experienced lawyer (15+ years out of school) but have only recently started doing privacy work (2-3 years), what level privacy roles do you apply to or have you had success in getting? Should I be willing to take a more junior attorney role since I don’t have years and years of privacy experience? Will companies pass over my resume because I’m too experienced? I’m currently in-house and only interested in in-house roles.

Hi there,

I have been working in technical roles at both Amazon and Microsoft (current) for about 4 years now.

But I no longer see the technical path as the way for myself going forward and would like to try something related to sales or business development. What would be a good role to break into that area and also hopefully not that a pay cut, if possible?

Thank you!
