Hi all, as the title says, I want to move into PM. I’m currently studying for my PMP and have 2.5 years of exp as an IE. 1) What can I do right now to make this transition? 2) Generally, ever PM position I look at requires several years of experience. Any tips? 3) Has anyone does this before? What company? I’d really appreciate any inputs. TC 100k
What kind of TC are you hoping for after transition?
150k
In Bay Area?
If you’re in manufacturing then first you need to join entry level tech positions to gain more experience. Otherwise it’s hopeless situation with PMP. What’s that $500 certificate going to change ?
What kind of tech positions do you have in mind? Coding?
You can try to move into Business Analyst role. Look for options in supply chain, ERP etc before going into PM role.
Within intel?
What do you actually define as program manager? Can you elaborate on your interpretation of program manager, it would make it easier to give advice
There are endless PgM roles and each have different requirements, whether it is for HR related programs, Operations related programs, or risk/compliance related programs. I recently moved from banking to tech with a background in risk/compliance. Look at what roles are available in the companies you’re interested and see what the qualifications are.
Nice! What is your role now?
I’m looking at supply chain and operations. And congrats!
Similar situation. Would love to break into tech world as a program manager. Currently in manufacturing
What is your plan? Have you been applying?
Were you able to get into Tech?
