Transition from Product Management to Technical Product Management?

Hi All,

I'm wondering if and how you managed to transition to more technical roles? Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Best regards

Marta

Hi @martafilipek, changing careers can be daunting but it IS doable! The key to pivoting is first getting clear on what direction you want to go in - be sure you do a full process of career exploration to understand and clarify which role/industry is the best direction for you – and then optimizing factors like updating personal branding materials, pursuing reputable upskilling opportunities, networking and researching to understand the role and how people break in, and having a coach/mentor/peer/etc to see any gaps and areas for opportunity.
