    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Is there anyone currently working in Product Management that can let me know how they broke into that field/position?

    I am looking to make a transition into this field but it can be difficult as I have more of an HR background.

    TIA

    I'm a relatively new product manager.

    What types of products do you want to manage? For what size company? Where are you in your career now?

    Edited to add - let's put our heads together and figure out how to get you into a product management role.

    I am in the Project management field now. Started out in CAD Management & Civil Engineering design.
