Asst Mgt Progression into tech

For a research analyst/ portfolio manager, are there any progression opportunities into mainstream tech or fintech? If yes, do you mind sharing what sort of roles or companies they could be relevant #finance #fintech #assetmanagement #dataanalytics #datascience

Mainstream tech - Product manager or data scientist is not uncommon if you’re willing to learn some SQL and Python Fin tech - same as above, but if you have alternative data experience it opens more doors

Kind of in a similar situation, I'm building alternative data products and want to transition more towards PM roles in tech. Does it make sense to apply to more data oriented companies? Not too sure how to pitch alternative data

Depends on what kind of alt data. If you’re a product manager at one of the large alt data shops like Yipit, Earnest, Similarweb or Thinknum then you can join a fintech firm like Square or Coinbase as a PM. This is not uncommon.
