Few days back, I shared about my recent career transition into Product Management. A couple of you have messaged me since then asking about the same, and over the next few weeks I will try my best to share insights from my journey. And at the end of it, an online meet where we can talk in more detail - please reply to this email if you’re interested in joining the same.

Take what I have to say with a pinch of salt, what worked for me may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

If you are in the early stages of contemplating a career pivot, I’ll suggest reflecting on a few questions to gain clarity on your motivations, priorities, and the practical steps required to make a successful shift:

  • Why do you want to shift your career?

  • How much time and effort are you willing to devote into this?

  • How close or far do you want to be from therapy/psychology?

  • Is there a field you are interested in/passionate about?

Product Management is just one example of a field where a background in psychology can be valuable- there are many more avenues out there.

If you don’t know what possibilities exist, start with expanding your understanding of the same. A great way to do that is to consciously socialize with people from different professions and learn about their work.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll share more about how I discovered that product management was the right path for me, ways to explore a new role , and various strategies for making a career shift.

If you have questions, feel free to reply to this email. And if you know someone who might benefit from this, please pass it along.

Until next week,
