Networking is another thing you must start doing and that might be already familiar to you as an engineer. Going to conferences is amazing, but these are expensive and do not happen too often.
Whereas meetups are cheap if not free and usually happen every month. Before you went to learn about some scalability problem another company had, or to listen to a story how they used framework Y to solve Z.
Now you need to broaden the field and visit events about UI and UX, about products, product development. Hackathons are amazing not only for developers but also for product managers. Finally, start building a real product. This is even easier to start as an engineer because you have the actual skills for the job. You can begin with the ideation phase, conduct customer interviews, prioritize the requirements for the MVP, design and build the actual working prototype, present it to users, gather feedback and iterate.
All of it can be done with a side project which can also improve your chances of getting hired and succeeding in your job. Many people ask how they can get experience as product managers before getting hired.
And this is exactly how. I did a lot of side projects myself. I also started several companies and failed. Analyzing all of these failures and successes made me better at managing our current product. This one is hard to answer objectively because it is different for every person. And in fact I am not. I am a co-founder of a company where I have to assume many roles, one of which is the role of a product manager. I love learning and I will never stop doing that.
I love challenges, and I want to overcome the fear of talking to new people. I want to build a product that people want to use. I want to be part of the team that does it. And this involves learning about product management. It is not specific to engineers to want to become product managers. But if you find talking to people fascinating, if you love to grow your network and exchange ideas, if you want to build great products, transitioning from an engineer to a product manager might be easier for you than an outsider who has zero experience in software development.
So does a good product manager need to be technical? But having experience and knowledge in how software is built is a huge bonus. For questions like that the short answer is: it depends.
As a general rule of thumb, the more responsibility you have, the more risk you take, the more experience you posess, the higher your salary is. Active 8 years ago. Viewed 4k times.
