ContextI was studying at a Tier-3 college with very few examples of product careers around me. The campus environment was focused on traditional engineering jobs, and there was little exposure to product management or tech startups. Most of my peers were preparing for government exams or core engineering roles. I struggled to find mentors who could guide me toward a product career. Access to industry projects and internships was limited, so I had to rely on online resources and self-driven learning. This context made it challenging to visualize a non-traditional career path, but it also motivated me to seek out new opportunities and build my own roadmap.
ChallengesI spent too much time on theory and had no portfolio projects to show practical thinking.
LearningsCareer growth depends on visible execution, not just marks or certificates.
OutcomeBuilt clarity on career direction and started creating project-based proof of work.
