When did you decide to move from IC to Management? How was the transition and how did you prepare for it?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Director of Product Management • July 20
I would not say I had a single point where I made this decision. I had the opportunity to lead a few PMs which I initially picked. I transitioned back to IC from this role a couple of times based on my interest in the product goals. My final (or I should say current since I could transition back to IC someday) decision was when I realized I was happier seeing success of my PMs than the success of the products.
The slow transition helped me prepare both with the help of my mentors and advisors, and through "learn by doing".
