Is it ok to tell your boss/job that you're looking to transition to product, and tell recruiters you're looking for roles in product before you've quit your other job? Or should I wait until I get an offer before telling anyone. I don't want to lose my job or disappoint my boss but product is where I want to end up and I'm working towards that.

I haven't told anyone yet and I don't know if I will until I finish my course and have some more experience. I personally think if it isn't disrupting your work at your other job then it isn't anyone's business but yours.
