Have 3.5 YOE in a operational risk strategy role. Have lead projects and firm wide initiatives. Background: finance @ Non-Target US university Total YOE: 3.5 #productmanagement #pm
My case, I worked in marketing operations and moved over when I saw an opening
What I did: Became a program manager and worked closely with PMs/eng which allowed me to learn the skillet and take on PM work that the PM was too busy for. That unofficial PM work helped me with an official transition to PM.
1. Internal transfer (usually the easiest but depends on your company/situation) 2. MBA -> Amazon/Microsoft PM (they hire a ton of PMs from bschool but with 0 tech experience it will be harder to recruit) 3. Startup (not unicorns, an actual no name startup that would take a risk on someone with 0 experience) I suggest 1 because you’ll have a hard time recruiting from MBA with 0 tech-adjacent experience and tiny startups are huge risks. If internal transfer isn’t possible at Morgan Stanley or in your current org, then I’d suggest moving orgs or moving to another company and taking an ops risk role then trying to internal transfer.

MBA.
Possible to network my way into PM pre-mba?
It's not about the network, it's about the MBA-specific recruiting events. Secondarily, it unlocks the hiring managers who will only hire PMs with MBAs. Note - I don't have one. I decided not to get an MBA when I realized most people wanted to get an MBA to be a PM, and since I already had the job I couldn't justify the ROI for myself.
