A really great piece, as someone that transitioned into Product Management from being a Founder about a year and a half ago, loved the emphasis on
- 🌱 growing your community (e.g., meet other PMs),
- 🧠 getting smarter on PM (will look at the Udemy course; also read Inspired when I got into the space | read Lean Startup previously as a founder -- I'd add Lenny Rachitsky's newsletter, author Marty Cagan's blog SVPG, and Reforge)
- 💻 getting familiar with tech (I also have done quite lot of freecodecamp.org JS course, and previously Python)
- 🔨 getting your hands dirty building side projects -- great examples, and further, I'd add that the low/no code space is an excellent space to explore as well, especially if you are not connected with software engineers (yet)
- 💼 I'd add learning how to source both using your network + finding great job resources (LinkedIn recs is a good place to start if you already have PM, Lenny Rachitsky's newsletter for learning + job board, ExitUp Substack, etc.)
