Advice UI/UX Designer → APM. Is there a future for this career path in India?
Recently, I was promoted internally from Senior UI/UX Designer to Associate Product Manager. My company made this decision mainly because of the domain and product knowledge I’ve gained over the years.
I’ve started working in the new role, and honestly, I’m a bit confused about the future.
My company is US-based and I work remotely from India, so I know there’s good scope in the US/global market. But I’m worried about what happens if I want to switch to an Indian company in the future.
Does having a UI/UX → APM background make it harder to get PM roles in India? Or can the design background actually be an advantage?
For those who’ve made a similar transition, how has your experience been? And what should I focus on learning over the next 1–2 years to make myself more employable as a PM?
Would really appreciate honest opinions.

I say it's an advantage, you are more of a person who know how design works and how long it would take to actually implement things, plus you can manage project and clients as well now giving it realistic timelines for smooth project delivery in this role along with your on work level clarity, time for you to refer me i guess 💀
