Finance Product Manager
I’m currently a product manager for Merrill and am looking for other product manager or senior product manager opportunities. How difficult is it to transition to a different industry? Any advice?
Depends what industry. Even within finance if u are working in credit that is totally different from investments.
Investments. Online brokerage specifically
Yeah... I'm hiring in Palo Alto
Is telecommuting a possibility?
Sorry nope not really
I transitioned from SaaS to a capital/payments product (in Boston). It's tough, especially since my engineers want a PM who is an expert. But the product group is supportive and the environment is conducive to learning. If you can get an opportunity like that with a chance to learn, take it. Also fintech in general might be a good move for you since you already have the investments experience.
Great point and I’ll look into fintech. Thanks!
Where do you live?
I’m in New England an hour outside of Boston.
