Would you rather be an Engineer learning how to Product or a Product Manager learning how to Engineer?

Always transition from Engineer to PM, not the other way round.

Learning the business nuances, business/user first thinking can be learnt easily and applied.

But learning how to implement a logic in code and understanding the dependencies of various systems is not easily learnable. Also involves the crux of different language learning.

Developers turning PMs is theoretically possible, some of us may have anecdotal evidence as well but it is largely difficult. Stakeholder management is just one part of being a PM, then you have to look at funnels, plan experiments, run queries whenever an idea strikes to validate it and then so many stakeholders reaching out to you every now and then. There’s legal, compliance, design, marketing, engineering, business heads etc.

If you are still able to make time, learn figma and make a designer’s life easy and write exceptionally good documents to help your tech teams and org move forward with high velocity.

And still if you find time, feel free to code since you were originally an engineer taking over a PM role in today’s internet companies.

One more thing- you have to be exceptionally good with writing emails to keep all stakeholders aligned and informed and make exceptional ppts to build alignment on any new product idea.

Hope I have made my point

Current brand of Product managers are totally not required. The moment engineers find more time, product is done for. With AI that's happening.

Engineer to PM is very much possible but for 10% of cases.
