I currently work in finance, but would like to see how a project management, product management, UX designer role would be. Any tips to make a move into such a role? Also do you know which individuals would best be suited for these roles? I currently work in numbers, but I would like my next role to be less numerical and use a different type of skill set. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
