Mentee Question
Hi Prashant, I am interested in long-term mentorship with you, particularly to discuss whether product management would be a suitable career path for me based on my current skills and experience. Since there are no trial slots available at the moment, I was wondering if it might be possible to connect for a few minutes at your convenience. I would greatly appreciate your insights and guidance as I consider this important decision.
Mentors Answer
Answered By Mentor Venk Sitaraman
Exploring product management as a career path is a smart move, especially if you already have some cross-functional or problem-solving experience from your current role. It’s not just about switching domains — it’s about finding a role that aligns with your strengths, interests, and long-term goals. That’s exactly what we can explore together.
I’ll be happy to carve out a few minutes to connect and help you think through this decision. We can do a quick call or chat to:
- Understand your current skillset and experience
- Talk through what a PM role actually involves (beyond the buzzwords)
- Assess where you currently stand and what you might need to build
- Map out possible learning or transition steps (if PM makes sense for you)
Once we speak, I’ll also share a framework with you to help evaluate PM-fit based on skills, mindset, and past experience — so you can make a confident call either way.
Let’s find a window that works for both of us.
Looking forward to guiding you on this path.

Hi Vidisha Pandey,
Thank you so much for your interest in long-term mentorship — I truly appreciate it.
Product Management is a great career path, but whether it’s the right fit for you depends on your current skills, interests, and long-term goals. I’d love to help you explore this and give you clear guidance.
Although the trial slots are full right now, don’t worry — I’ll be opening up new ones soon. I strongly recommend booking a trial session once available, because that’s where I do a deep dive into your background, strengths, and confusion. In just 30 minutes, you’ll get personalized direction — whether PM is right for you or if another path might suit you better.
Stay tuned for the next slots — and feel free to drop me a message then. Looking forward to helping you find the best path forward!
