Upraised review by Tanmay Singh

Tanmay Singh

Product Manager at Monexo

Ended up bagging more than one product offer

A couple of years into my first job, I knew product management was the right fit for me. I was at Byju's and was fascinated by the work PMs in the company were doing.

At the beginning, there was a lot of doubt. My gut kept telling me, I could be a great PM. Years in sales & program management had taught me valuable lessons around communicating effectively, influencing without authority and having a keen eye for data.

But, I was scared!

Ended up really stepping up my game with Upraised & getting more than one offer

Upraised review by Shoubhik Ghoshal

You cant go wrong with Upraised

You need someone to be with you for the emotional up & downs of a career change. Someone who sticks with you all the way.

Most courses are transactional, there is no personalised attention but I needed someone who could tell me “You can do it”

My coach, counsellors made the tough transition to product possible

1. What is Product Management?

Product management is one of the hottest jobs in the market. These are cross-functional high ownership roles in tech firms that involve ideation, user research, implementation, stake-holder management, data analysis and experimentation. It is a business (non-coding) role. A Product Manager is often thought of as the centerpiece role that balances the interest of business, design, engineering and customers.

2. What are the Roles and Responsibilities of a Product Manager?

The specific responsibilities of a Product Manager may vary based on the size of the organisation. For example, at small organisations, product managers spend most of their time on hands-on work and making sure that the vision they've defined is executed. Whereas in larger organisations, product managers have teams of specialists allocated to them, who manage the day-to-day execution of tasks, and they have to focus on aligning all these stakeholders with their vision.

On the whole, a product manager's responsibilities include the following:

  • Understanding user pain points and aligning them with business needs.
  • Keeping an eye on the market and performing competitor analyses.
  • Defining the vision for the product they're working on.
  • Bringing stakeholders on the same page about the vision for the product.
  • Prioritising user pain points and proposing product features to solve them.
  • Coordinating with various teams, and getting products and features shipped.

  • Work on personal projects to improve your product skills: Once you've picked up Product Management skills, it's time to put them into practice. Practice creating wireframes, user personas, case studies, PRDs, etc. Slowly build up from small projects to more comprehensive ones.
  • Build a Portfolio to Display Your Work: Rather than trying to include everything, use your portfolio to highlight your strengths as a Product Manager. This means focusing on the projects you're most proud of, but also using those projects to highlight your strongest qualities - whether that's UX design, your ability to code, or management skills.
  • Prepare and apply for interviews: Now that you're ready to become a super Product Manager, it's time to go out there and find your dream job! Start finding openings for Product Manager roles, and apply to the ones you like. Before your interviews, make sure you prepare yourself well.

4. How do I know if product management is right for me?

a. Do you find the role exciting?

  • Do you thrive in ambiguity?
  • Does taking initiative come naturally to you?
  • Do you love solving different types of problems?
  • Are you okay with your days not being completely structured & planned?

If the answer to most of these questions is “Yes” then you seem like someone who will enjoy the role.

You can also try doing a product related project in your current company or joining a few product communities to do competitions like “product teardowns” to confirm if you enjoy the work
