Hi, what skills/courses I need to learn to become a cloud product manager? Not very sure how do I start. Should I learn AWS/Azure/Google Cloud. How to transition to a cloud product manager? Can someone advise please?
What do you do now?
I am currently doing a MBA. Have time to do a certification if need be... have some pm experience in the past
I’ve heard rumors that Amazon values an MBA for PMs. (MS doesn’t really).
Get your foot in the door any way you can eg Internships, Jr product roles like analysis, etc. Read everything you can about the industries you want to work in. Participate everywhere you can like Product meetups, etc
Great. Thanks for the reply. If I want to recruit for say Salesforce PM role - doing Salesforce certification for any of the products help? How does Salesforce train PMs/engineers? What kind of skills will help?
Exposure to the technology - learn it inside and out, keep abreast of the industry and how each of the players stack up and work on your soft skills (presentation, customer interaction, selling etc ). Of these skills technical and soft are the most important. The more technical you are the easier your relationship with dev will be.
Thanks for the detailed reply. If you don’t mind, what kind of courses will help me to become more ‘cloud technical’. I mean doing something such as Google cloud certification will help?

You mean Cloud services are the product or a product running in the cloud?
