Package Description:

Thinking about becoming a Product Manager but not sure how to make the leap? I’ve been there—and successfully made the transition from software engineer to PM. Now I help others do the same. This package is designed for anyone—whether from a tech or non-tech background—who is currently working in another profession and is considering a transition into product management. Whether you're just exploring the idea or actively applying for PM roles, this will provide clarity, direction, and actionable next steps. Here’s what we’ll cover: What It Really Means to Be a PM Learn what the day-to-day looks like, the hidden challenges no one talks about, and how PMs actually spend their time (hint: it’s not all strategy docs and product launches). Skill Mapping: From Your Current Role to PM I’ll help you identify which of your current skills are transferable—and how to reframe them to stand out as a PM candidate. This includes specific guidance for engineers, designers, analysts, or other roles. What PM Hiring Managers Are Looking For We’ll talk through the mindset, soft skills, and business acumen that make great PMs, and how to develop or showcase them—even without previous PM experience. Career Change Game Plan I’ll help you craft a realistic and personalized strategy for your transition, whether that includes side projects, internal moves, bootcamps, or applying externally. Resume & Interview Prep Overview You’ll learn what makes a PM resume compelling, how to talk about your experience in interviews, and what common PM interview formats look like.
