I've done my post-graduation in management from a tier 2 B-school (IMT, TAPMI, IMI, KJSOM and the like). Majored in marketing with some operations subjects. I'm currently working as a research analyst for about 1.5 years supporting mostly consulting work in the health and life sciences industry.

I am looking to move out of this industry into a more direct industry-oriented role rather than currently (which is like looking into the industry from the outside).

Any advice? (cont. in comments)

I was looking at product management (found a course offered by UpGrad). I'm not sure whether doing a product management course will be useful... Anyone have any idea or experience in this?

I am open to any other lines of thought for my original post as well (apart from product management)...

Perhaps you could look at job descriptions as a way to figure out the array of needed skills?

Hi all! I recently accepted a remote/hybrid RN position to try something new. Majority of my experience is at bedside. The pay is less than bedside (as a traveler), but more than a staff nurse. Are there any RN’s that left bedside for a remote position that can give advice on the work/life balance? What pros and cons do you encounter?

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

What do you all think is the upper limit range for someone in an account manager role at a tech firm? What’s the career path?
