Marketer-Entrepreneur needs advice to jumpstart a PM role!
Hi Elphas! I’m Lyca, in my mid-20s, loves dogs & music, and currently hustlin’ here in San Francisco. I can say I’m a marketer with an entrepreneurial spirit. During my university years, I started my own apparel startup. I also did a couple of marketing and business development internships (reaallyy wanted to learn and gain experience!). After that, I pivoted to being part of a marketing team in one of the biggest consulting firms as my first job. I moved to the US a little bit over a year ago and worked with a couple of early-stage startups to help on their marketing and design projects. I also thought of a business plan that involves coffee - so I’m currently working part-time as a barista in a coffee lab mainly to learn more about coffee science.I’ve been wanting to pursue a path towards a product manager role as I like to do be involved in both tech and design to be super hands-on to the product and its users. A step I’m currently taking is looking for product management internships. Do you think I should also do a bootcamp or study more to land a PM role? I’d love to know your thoughts and suggestions on this! Also, if you have recommendations on where I can contribute to jumpstart my career towards PM, please let me know. Thank you so much! Looking forward to learning from you!
