Looking to transition from devops to PM or similar roles in india.
A friend of mine has over 4 years of experience in DevOps and is looking to transition into a Product Manager or a similar role. Any advice on making this transition or referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Some companies are open to engineers transitioning into PM roles, especially in internal mobility programs. Your friend should check within their current organization first!

PM and DevOps require very different skill sets. Has your friend worked on customer/user requirements before, or do they mainly focus on technical execution?

[plentycheeku](username) there's some customer interaction to help fix technical issues that the customer success team isn't able to solve.
Any other role that can bridge the gap between the two roles? they also recently completed CSPO certification.

What kind of products has your friend worked with? If they’ve been involved in CI/CD pipeline optimizations, cloud architecture, or monitoring tools, they could target companies building DevOps-related products.

Does your friend already have experience in product decision-making or feature planning? If yes, they can leverage that experience to transition more smoothly...🤔
