CA with product design background looking to transition in PM role

Hey guys,

I am a chartered accountant by education and product designer by profession currently working at mnc from last 2 years.

I transitioned to product design mainly due to my interest in digital product.

Now i feel i can do more and hence want to transition to the product management role.

How should I proceed ? Will i be considered for a pm role with a ca degree ?

I'm really curious about why you transitioned from CA to design. How did you deal with pressure from parents and friends? Weren't you scared of failure?

Passing the CA exam is fairly tough!

I've always been fascinated by the tech world, and when I discovered UX, something just clicked. Yeah, I had a pretty sweet deal going - good money, respect, the whole package. But honestly? UX got me so excited that I didn't even care about losing all that. Sure, it was scary leaving everything behind and starting from zero, but I was just too pumped about becoming a UX designer to let that stop me.

Your CA + product design background is unique—leverage it for fintech or SaaS PM roles where your mix of financial and UX skills shines.

Do this now:

Learn PM tools: SQL (data decisions), Jira (agile execution), basic Python (automation).

Repackage past work: Frame design projects as PM wins (e.g., "Improved conversion by simplifying UX flows").

Target hybrid roles: Look for "Product Owner" or "UX-focused PM" jobs in fintech.
