Meet Anand - He's a SHINE alum who successfully made the jump from Engineer to Sr. PM but felt like he needed a boost from a coach to deliver on his newly earned title. He's such a fun and smart guy, loved catching up to hear how things have been going in his career.
We talk about:
- What it *really* took to shift to his first PM role (hint: 18 months and a boatload of persistence and consistent self-advocacy!)
- How his early career experience as a highly technical engineer set him up for success in Product
- The challenges that stemmed from being a capable engineer now doing product work
- The choice to get his Executive MBA and how it helped in the career shift
- How networking and cold outreach has been his secret weapon of career growth
- How he managed to get a 70%+ hit rate on cold networking outreach to Product folks in his community
- His leadership of a local entrepreneurial networking group and how it's helping him stay sharp as a PM
- And more!
