Congratulations!
May I ask what your consulting experience is and how it prepared you for your new role?

This gives me hope as I’m trying to do the same, congrats OP!

Did something similar but on a smaller scale since I have less years of experience so currently working as a Product Analyst at a startup! Absolutely loving it and really glad I made the switch as well!

Awesome - congrats! I am having a lot of fun in my new role.

OP did you get any agile certs for the role? If yes, do you think that was a big factor in being considered?

No certifications. I think being able to speak on the product management frameworks during your interview is more important. I think relating your consulting experience to product management is also important. Finally referral for sure helped. Former manager is a director within the company.

Congrats OP! Were you in a managerial role before the startup? I’m looking to make a similar transition but I manage people now and have been for a while, so I’m worried about taking a step back in my career by switching to PM (as they mostly appear to be IC roles).

Yes exactly! I love it

Congrats

Hi, I have a question in regard of applying for an internal positions within the company. I been here for 6 months and found another opportunity that I am very interested in that was just posted. I have an interview with HR but it states that if it goes to the hiring manager, it will notified my manager.
Should I tell my manager now or just until it notified my manager? I would feel stupid if the hiring manager didn't pick me
Thoughts?

Hello, I need your advice. I am currently in management in primary care. I have a strong management background in specialty hospital practice management. Recently some leadership positions have become available and I feel as if my leader has discouraged me from applying. His take is that I should take certain steps before applying, however I have the experience from my previous employment in this leadership role. Would I be overstepping to apply anyways ?
