A Look Inside My Career As A B2B Product Marketing Manager in IT (Part 1)
Today, I’m going to tell you all about my career path and share some of my tips — and anti-tips.
I'm Anya, a Product Marketing Manager in the tech industry, specializing in B2B. I also run the Product Pulse Telegram channel and offer consulting services for marketing, product, and career-related matters. My journey began with a technical background, earning both a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Product Development Management of IT Services.
While I had initially considered becoming a software engineer, my passion for product management led me to pursue a different path. During my Master's program, I focused on building a portfolio, conducting customer interviews, and creating a website to gain real-world experience. Despite facing numerous rejections, I managed to secure a Product Intern position at a major e-commerce company.
However, I ultimately declined the offer, realizing it wasn't a perfect fit for my personality and career goals. Following this setback, I experienced a period of uncertainty and apathy, but eventually received an offer for a Junior Product Manager position at a smaller IT company. Embracing this opportunity, I worked diligently to exceed expectations and develop my skills.
