Hi, Does anyone have experience or enrolled in Innovation & Product development course offered by UC Irvine - division of continuing education. It is a online course with 4 courses and cost is $2440 for the whole course. I want to know if it’s worth spending money on it to transition into product management career. How a software engineer move into product manager role without PM experience ? How will SWE prove themselves in the interview that they are a good fit for PM role ? Do not have time and money to go for MBA. Link is below https://ce.uci.edu/areas/business_mgmt/innovation/
Most college is bullshit. You are paying only for the connections that you can get for free by networking. An online course gets you basically nothing.
Courses are a waste of money, either get a degree or experience ...
