Is there anyone who has been working in non tech role and has switched to a tech role. Tell me what worked for you? What skills and certifications did you acquire to make it happen? Looking for some inspirations.

When you say “tech role,” what do you mean?

In general, starting with technical program or product management can be a good bridge— it’s how I went the other way (from technical to non-technical). Certifications are hard to recommend without knowing exactly what you have in mind that you’d like to do.

Thanks for the reply. I am considering more of a cloud based role like cloud engineering and solutions architect.

Does anyone have any advice for a recent masters graduate looking to move into product marketing? My professional experience is mostly in brand, social and event marketing, but after completing grad school, I’ve realized that I’d love to get into the product side of things. Unfortunately, 95% of the PMM roles I’ve come upon want 5 years of actual product marketing experience. So any advice for breaking into this area would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance 😊

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
