What is required to become a product manager of an Internet company？

@new_user__063202478968d9342141401 1. Join a college group or a team project, or create your own project and get people to work with you, the first step is about dealing with people, understand what people want or expect when working together, what they say and what they dont say (but want)... Read also Dale Carnegie - How to Make Friends and Influence People, the major part is dealing with people. 2. Yes you can try LinkedIn Learning there arr several course on Project Management, but also Data Analysis for PM, you just need basic knowledge when looking for data you can ask an engineer or user researcher but you need to know how to communicate with then, thus the need to know a bit of Data Analysis. 3. To better your communication skills try an intensive acting class (1 month or so), it will make you more able to talk, to train your speech and body language, and it's very relaxing as you meet totally different people from many industries, the key thing is to deal with people not become a master of acting but be less nervous around people while expressing your thoughts. 4. I would say that the key thing in every industry is to work with people with more experience, that is where you can learn the most, for me product management is all about hearing the users/customers, being like a detective understanding what are the real needs, because 80% of thr features developed by tech companies are not that much used... but as product manager you need to see in a business perspective if those only 5 customers are willing to pay a lot for that feature that very few will use it. Thus I would say that if you deal with customers regularly you will see/learn their pains and struggles and the features solving that will immediately connect with them, making it a success.

@new_user__063202478968d9342141401 As per technical skills, if you would like to be a software product manager, you can have a high level understanding of software and architecture. Without going too much into details, it is more a matter of understanding the lingua and the concepts. Per the soft skills, a nice exercise is: - Pick a topic - Understand it - Describe it in: (one sentence: what is the background; one sentence: what problem are we solving; one sentence: what are the challenges) - Pick a friend who does not anything about the topic and ask him if he/she understood it via your sum-up This will help you to be concise and communicate better. Don't stress out too much, you will get there. As per the AI platform, we launch tomorrow here on product hunt. You can already access it here: www.yourwai.tech
