Seeking Honest Advice on Transitioning from Marketing to PM

Hello everyone, I am a Marketing Executive with 2+ years of experience in market research and an MBA from a Tier-2 college. I'm exploring a transition into Product Management.

Is this transition realistically possible and advisable? I’ve come across many positive views from edtech platforms selling courses, but I’m looking for honest, practical insights. For those who’ve made a similar move or work in product management—what skills should I focus on, and are there certifications that could help? Does my market research background align well with this shift? I’d love to hear your honest opinions and advice. Thanks in advance!
