Just passed 3 years after starting as a BTA, and looking to exit consulting in Product Management at FANG. Already on the west coast, I have a BA in business and BS in UX. Is MBA generally needed?

Do you have project experience doing anything related to product management?

In most companies, it is a bit different from product owner (I have been in both roles). My experience has been that PMs are more market/ client facing. They decide the product roadmap, pricing, marketing, positioning, etc. A popular phrase used is they're the "CEO of the product". PO roles are usually more internally focused, coordinating between the PM and the scrum or agile delivery teams. They work to prioritize stories for sprints, write user stories, collect/ communicate requirements and provide updates in Sprint reviews.

No, not needed, but makes it easier. How much overall experience do you have? My background is in product. Feel free to DM me

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
