Anyone happy with their move from marketing to product/engineering: I’d love to hear about your transition. I’m in marketing in tech (7 YOE) and really enjoy my work, but TC (~90k) is abysmal compared to what it could be on the product/engineering side. I also sincerely think I would enjoy that line of work. Staying with my company would be a huge bonus, so especially curious about pivoting internally (but I’m open). Edit: Adding that I’m in Seattle
Made the jump myself from marketing to software dev. I saved and quit my job to do a 4 month coding boot camp. Would your job allow a hiatus?
Possibly—hiatus hadn’t occurred to me. Did you switch companies then, or come back to a different role? What was your title before and after? TC increase?

Google CFO confirms 'large-scale' layoffs
I mean... you would have to learn to code, and that’s likely not going to happen on the job. PM would be more realistic. Also you’re underpaid. Consider tier 1/2/3 companies that will pay $100k base + equity.
What would it look like to learn off the job? Willing to put in the hours, but not sure where to start or what opportunities would open up.
