Welcome to Product Career Academy
Helping working IT professionals break into Product Management — with clarity, skill, and strategy.
This isn’t just another newsletter.
This is a roadmap for real career transformation.
Because careers don’t grow with luck.
They grow with clarity.
And more than anything, they grow with momentum.
What Is Product Career Academy?
Product Career Academy is your weekly guide to transitioning into Product Management — the right way.
Not by chasing certifications.
Not by burning out in online courses.
But by building the real skills and mindset that get you hired.
Inside, I share the exact systems, stories, and strategies I’ve used to help 1,000+ IT professionals successfully transition into Product Management roles — without MBAs, without Tier-1 degrees, and without pay cuts.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
How to identify and position your transferable skills for PM roles
How to build a product portfolio that makes recruiters say yes
How to prepare for PM interviews — product design, strategy, and execution
How to use AI tools like ChatGPT to accelerate your PM prep
How to grow your visibility and credibility in the PM ecosystem
This is not theory.
This is practice, precision, and progress.
Who This Is For
Working professionals stuck in IT, QA, BA, or project roles who dream of switching into Product Management
Experienced professionals tired of random courses that don’t lead to jobs
Ambitious builders who want to move from “execution” to “ownership” in their careers
Anyone ready to build real PM skills — not just add another line on their resume
If you’ve been working hard but not moving forward,
if you feel like you’re doing everything right but still not getting PM interviews,
you’re in the right place.
Why I Created This
Because I know what it feels like to want more — and not know where to start.
To work hard, do everything right, and still feel stuck in the same job title.
To have potential, but no roadmap.
Over the years, I’ve coached people who felt invisible — and helped them land dream PM offers at top tech companies.
I built this space to share everything that works — the frameworks, the systems, and the mindset shifts — so you can stop guessing and start growing.
This isn’t hype.
It’s the help I wish I had when I was starting out.
Who I Am
I’m Sachin Sharma — Product Career Coach, Mentor, and Product Leader with over 11 years of experience building and leading digital products.
I’ve trained and mentored 1,000+ professionals to make successful career transitions into Product Management.
I’ve been where you are — overwhelmed by choices, unclear where to start, and wondering if this transition is even possible.
It is.
And I’ll show you how.
What You Can Expect
Weekly deep-dive posts that simplify complex PM topics
Stories and insights from real transitions (including failures)
Interview frameworks, AI prompts, and product teardown examples
Career strategies that help you grow faster — with less guesswork
Notes that challenge how you think about learning, growth, and success
This is not another newsletter full of buzzwords.
This is a space for action, clarity, and confidence.
Final Word
You don’t need another certificate.
You need a direction.
You don’t need more motivation.
You need a system that works.
That’s what we build here — one post, one insight, one career at a time.
Welcome to Product Career Academy.
Let’s turn your experience into your edge — and your edge into your dream PM job.
