Moving from engineering to design was easier than my first job as PM. Much more study time, work burnout and people DRAMA! 😩 I wish I had something so easy to get started. Now I’d get some mentorship aside and get feedback faster.

Hey Antonio, that’s a very interesting path!

I’m particularly interested in burnout and the drama you mentioned. Definitely, some transitions are smoother than others. Getting a mentor is definitely a life changer to get feedback faster and speed up the process.

Thanks for sharing this!

I moved from engineering to product management several years ago. Elena's advice about building on your key engineering skills with new product management skills is good. Thank you for an excellent post - the pictures and list of resources are very helpful!
