Hi team,

Currently I am working as staff solution architect in VMware and my previous roles were Network consultants with 15 years of experience.

I feel that I want to have a further career change into Product Management wether inside or outside VMware.

I appreciate if anyone can help/advise me, how can I do this transition without a previous experience in PM and what could be the materials and certificates that may help me.

    Everyone thinks prod mgmt is the answer to everything if they aren’t coding.

    Make sure it is exactly what you want to do. The cross functional bullshit. Ppl ignoring your emails, want to side step you and go to the engineering team directly, or even pretend they can do your job better then you.

    Shadow a pm first and understand all the shit they have to deal with before you want to make the move.

    Best option would be to try within VMware - many of my Solution architect friends get into Product management role as they directly interact with PLM team and build relationships. If you a presales architect it's easier. It's difficult outside competing with other Product managers.
