Thank you for sharing
Can you post the link to the PM Bootcamp that you said in the video?😁😁
I'm also considering whether I need a PM training camp 🥲🥲
Ofc! Just linked the boot camps that I considered before! Do you think having another video for BootCamp review will be helpful?
I am so sorry that I just noticed your reply to me🙈🙈 If you would like to share, that would be great! 😁😁
I also joined the PM Accelerator by Dr. Nancy Li. Seeing my alumni achieved so much success gaves me SO MUCH confidence to transition to PM fast!!😝😝
@@linliu9399 you got this!!
@@linliu9399 Hi, were you able to finally become a PM? I am thinking if I should join the program or not.
Wow, Tina - you outworked everyone!
Stellar PM , let's go! 🚀

Such an inspirations!
Great video! Glad you didn’t give up. I agree, mindset is everything!
100%. I literally almost gave up half way through. I thought there is no chance. I saw you just transitioned to PM as well. Congrats!! Nice meeting you here :)
@@tinalouisechen cheers to the PM life 🥂
Cheers to you too! Also loving your channel and the latest video abt mindset and long term thinking for success!
Thank you for sharing your story! Your story really resonated as my background is so similar to yours, (majored in marketing/advertising for undergrad, worked for media/advertising agencies, and after 3 painstaking years was finally able to break into a role in the tech industry by becoming a sales account executive/account manager. Plus... I'm also Taiwanese!)
I've been feeling so discouraged as I have 0 technical skills whatsoever, but I'm great at understanding what customers need and know how to talk to them. Thank you for sharing your advice and tips. This has convinced me to continue trying to give it a shot! You're awesome💪🏼
This so good to hear that we shared so much experience! Good luck with the role-hunting! You got this!!!!!
What a journey! Thanks for sharing ❤
Hi Jenny 😍
Love the ambience!
Thank you :)))
Great video Tina... Thank you for sharing
Thank you!!
amazing video and content. thank you for your inspiration and sharing all of your knowledge and experience! The high frequency of the very small space between micro-edits in this video was a bit intense/distracting for me. It's a popular editing style and it works well, but when there's like 10 edits in one sentence, and sometimes several very short edits between several connected words, it can be a little overwhelming. Anyhow, love the content! Looking forward to more
Thank you for ur feedback. Still learning to be better at editing. Def great feedback tho! appreciated it :)
that's incredible. Thank you very much
😍😍😍
great, thank you for your sharing
Yay I’m glad you found it helpful 😄😄
Thank you Tina for sharing your journey and creating this video.
Super useful and down to earth.

Thank you for dropping this note. This note makes me so happy 🤩
@@tinalouisechen woohoo!!! Tina i couldn't quite work out, but was your first PM role at uber or did you move on to another company after getting an offer?
@@jjvs9 I was not a PM when I was at uber but I was working on a lot of PM related projects that helped me shape my product path!
@@tinalouisechen cool! So is xerox your first PM role?
thanks for your response!@@tinalouisechen so your first PM role was at another company? i currently work as a CSM at a startup but our eng team is international, so it will be very hard to transition to PM internally. hopefully it'll be possible for me to transfer to a PM role at another company!
謝謝妳的分享!
當然！開心你喜歡！
Ex-account manager here! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Hi Tina,
Great video! I am customer service manager for over 5 years and and I am trying to get in product management I have tried to get jobs im account management no luck! I wanted to know should I just go to the boothcamp
Thank you for watching the video so glad that you found it helpful.
To be honest, boot camp is quite expensive. If you know PM is what you want to do in your career for sure and u have the budget, then yes boot camp will be helpful for sure.
Otherwise, i think working on mini project and understand what PM really is and then use those mini projects to gain real-life experience will be even more helpful in landing u a role.
A lot of times, what PM boot camp does is teach you PM fundamentals, but in interviews, you need to have some transferrable experience to talk about it and showcase yourself! :) 😃
What product did you created when you’re applying what you learned? Would love a video of you going through that :)
Hi Claudia, I used the side project for my past role and turned them into a portfolio! I also included how I developed my e-commerce store and drive sales by AB testing landing page!
And yes, will definitely make one!
Curious to know which PM bootcamp you end up going to after your research?
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Qin! I signed up for product manager accelerator program! I will make one video breaking down my selection criteria later on! :) stay tuned
@@tinalouisechen yayyy 🥰
Do you recommend doing a boot camp ? What types of resources did you use ?
Personally, I benefited a lot from the PM bootcamp! I learned how to interview for PM jobs and highlight my PM relevant skill sets during the interview and allow me to standout as a junior PM with no experience! If you have budget for PM bootcamp, I would highly recommend you to check one out! :)
Hi! I’m Dan from PTYA cohort 8. Great to connect with you here and happy to help if you need any support with your RUclips journey. Looks like you don't need it though! Great video
Hi Danfango! Thank you for the message! Will definitely reach out if I ever need help and guidance 🤩
@@tinalouisechen happy to help with ideation, creative storytelling etc!
hi tina! would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your resume template that you used to transition into PM? :) thank you so much!!
More than happy to share some of my resume tips in one of the future videos 😍
Hi Tina- I am currently working as Senior Associate consultant in Infosys.. I have 4years 7months of experience in IT(graduated Btech-CSE)..But I am planning to switch to PM....is it possible to transition to PM...what are the source to start..please let me know
It’s possible! I will highly encourage to start connecting the dots between what you do now and see what are the transferable skills, take courses to learn more about what PM do and start crafting your story! In my most recent video, I shared more in depth steps on how to accomplish this. Feel free to take a look! :)
Which PM Bootcamp did you take?
Can I become a PM at age of 39? I want a career change...any advice will be highly appreciated. I'm coming from a studio management background in branding agency
Anything is possible! :))) I would highlight your transferable skills from studio management background and how it can help you drive product prioritization and how you can paint a story through customer’s lens! Hope this helps! I know this is quite broad but I’d start from here!
hi there is there any masters degree for product management in canada or its MBA is the only option for it i am from india a graduate student in Bachelors of technology i want to land up in product manager role at my dream companies like google,netflix,apple how can i be there which course should i opt for it in either canada or usa plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz do mention
You are not required to get a MBA to land a PM role! Building your portfolio and showcasing your past experience will also get you there! :)
@@tinalouisechen thank u tina for ur reply but i have already made up my mind to pursue an mba sought of thing in abroad usually what's related to PM without any delay can u plz guide me in choosing a right mba and it's stream
I am a recent college graduate i don't have a job experience neither mba degree can i get into product management job?
There are many ways to land a PM role. To new grad, you could look into associate PM role. Or u could look into some product adjacent role! ☺️
What boot camp did you attend?
I went with the Product Manager Accelerator program!
Do you happen to have free courses for me? I can’t afford any at the moment 😢
Ofc, there are tons of free resources online! Check out exponent, dr.Nancyli and some other PM related RUclips channels! Those really help!
@@tinalouisechen thank you very much
Great. Keep you talk wayyyy too fast
hahahaaha okay! i will slow down next time. Thank you for your feedback.
I think was the editing.
Hi, Tina! I’m inspired by your story and would love to connect. Is it ok if I add you on LinkedIn and potentially schedule a meeting with you? I would love to pick at your brain on what you’ve learned over your journey.
Ofc happy to help! Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn and we can go from there! Feel free to also post your questions here so we can empower the community all together 😄😄
