Hello Blinders, Currently work in the area of ERP/SAP Security/Controls-Cybersecurity for Deloitte as Senior Consultant. Nearing to almost 3 years of experience with the firm. Want to move to tech companies with some preparation. Can someone guide me if it's better to stick to security (if yes, what positions should I aim for in product companies ) or pivot career to product companies with Technical Product manager roles ? I graduated in 2019 with MBA degree and have some friends at Amazon who are L6 Senior Product Manager - Technical, so seems MBA folks do go into Product Manager roles. Doing some research here and seems Product Managers, in the compensation scale, are near to SWEs', hence checking if it is at all possible to move to Product Manager roles. TC (salary + bonus ) - 145k $ ( this salary combined with HCOL area sucks - sorry ) YOE pre MBA - 5 years YOE post MBA - 2.5 years Can someone please guide me. If I have realistic chances of cracking a PM role, can someone guide me to what preparations can I do for an interview ? Regards #
How'd things work out? I'm in a similar situation.
Hi.. not yet moved. Still stuck in the same cyber sec role, although i have started prepping
Move to Product Management as majority of the roles in Cyber Security don’t pay good
Thank you. I had a hint of this already. I have started my preparations for meta PM. lets see the progress.
