I pivoted from software engineering to AI product management. Here are the 3 strategies I used to help me land the job.
"I worked for four years as a full-time software engineer - two years at IBM and two years at Walmart Global Tech - after completing my undergraduate program in India in 2017. In July 2022, I left software engineering and chose to shift my career path to compete for an AI/tech product management role at Walmart in the US, even though I had little experience in that field."
"Right as ChatGPT was introduced to the world, I knew a massive shift was coming, and my technical background was my unique entry point into the AI talent wars. I started my master's program in computer software engineering at San Jose State University in August 2022. During my master's summer, I did a product management internship at Walmart. I graduated from with my degree in May 2024 and joined Walmart as a full-time product manager in July 2024."
