I’m working as a Business Consultant and wants to switch my job to product management. Do I need to do certification to get that kind of role? I have around 7 years experience in business development and 1 year being in Canada. Please advice.

Do you have any product management experience? Or any easily transferable skills based on what you've been doing? One of my colleagues transferred to product management and they did one of those certifications online, but they also made sure their résumé showed easily transferable skills.

Can you please help me to know which certification did they do? Would be great help to filter down from some I look on Google.

PM is such a saturated market right now. Going to be competing again ppl with a lot of experience and top 10 MBAs.

Can you pivot in your current company? That be more reasonable IMO.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls.
