Question

I've been entertaining the idea of a career change over the last year, and Product Management is an area that interests me greatly.
I'm just not entirely sure how to move across without damaging my existing salary to extensively, and also without knowing how transferable my skills are. How did you move into Product Management?

Hi Aidan.

Lots of good answers here:

Also, I had a PM guest post their experience on my blog:

You'll have to see what works in Australia. There's a PM consultancy called Brainmates in Australia, led by Adrienne Tan. You could contact her to get the take on things in Australia.
