I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Best practices to avoid burning out in FDD?
Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Having been a product manager myself, I’ve seen PMs come from all types of backgrounds so I wouldn’t worry so much about that.
What’s your tech background? If it’s a formal degree like csci or similar field with experience, then you have a pretty solid resume to be in the product path.
OP and you have a business background? You’re more than set my friend!
The parts I find myself overlapping a lot with UX is helping with understanding the user journey and jumping on user testing to understand customers. Reading insight debriefs don’t quite give you the same level of understanding.
I started as an engineer with csci degree (web development) and transitioned into product at the same company.
No, ux should progress to creative director
You might wang to look at roles as a product designer which is more UX focused and then see the difference in tasks between the product designer and product manager role
what aspect of product management do you find interesting? because having a tech background is useful but that's not the core of product management.
OP what type of responsibilities do you have as a UX designer today? Titles vary from company to company so it really depends on what you’re doing currently or have experience with.
Agreed that product design skillset lines up more with product management and the ability to identify user needs and translate those into UX considerations is important.
Tech background is also very important as it helps you relate to engineers on the team and better understand technical tradeoffs.
The only key other parts that you’d also need are the skill to manage the cross functional team and stakeholders, but that’s not something specific to product. And a more analytical mindset using data and analytics to also inform your decision making.
Otherwise a PM with a UX and tech background would rank you pretty high up there.
Follow up question, what is a better path to product manager?
More common to go from a product designer or BA to PM or from UX to Creative Director
I’ve known a lot of UX designers who easily transitioned into Product Design. So I can definitely see a transition from UX to PM.
