How do you get started in PM? I’m entering senior year in college and haven’t had much luck with SWE (not particularly passionate about coding itself, more so the impact made from creating). Any recs on how to build skills without internships?

I’m in the same boat as you. Planning to to practice Product Manager interview questions. Familiarize myself with jargon and concepts like User stories, Product Market fit (whatever is highlighted in interviews). Maybe leverage my SWE skills to activate apply those concepts to my projects so I can give examples during interviews

For sure. That is super helpful, I should start too. Let me know if you want to do progress checks or anything to keep us accountable
