What’s the best way to break into tech product marketing? I currently work as a product manager for a F500 pharma company but I really want to get out of pharma. Graduated with an MBA about 1.5 years ago but so far I’ve gotten nowhere in the process. Is my background from healthcare a disadvantage?

Your background in healthcare would be very beneficial in the right company - I would start by brainstorming/researching health tech companies and seeing what openings there are that interest you.

Would I be limited to just health tech?
