Product Management has become a very desirable profession. As I write this, there are over 1,000 job openings in the Bay Area alone. It’s a profession that pays really well and provides a lot of room for advancement.
On the other hand, it is not easy to get into Product Management. PM roles are generally not entry-level positions, and there is a good amount of competition. Even people starting in junior PM roles usually have years of experience in other areas. And they often have MBAs or other graduate degrees.
That’s why it’s very important to understand exactly what kind of job you are looking for, what you have to offer, and most importantly, how you can position (and develop) your skills to get the job you want. With the information in this guide, you’ll be way ahead of the curve.
This guide takes a very Product Management-centric approach to managing your career, using the premise that when looking for a job, YOU are the product!
As you work through this guide, you’ll not only get closer to getting your dream job, but you’ll also practice some key Product Management skills. In essence, you’ll perform many of the steps required to take a product from conception to release.
