### 🚀 Transitioning into Product: Breaking In and Thriving in the Role
Breaking into Product is one thing. Succeeding and growing in the role is another.
With Product roles becoming increasingly competitive and ambiguous, many professionals find themselves asking:
How do I transition into Product?
What does success really look like once I’m there?
And how do I keep growing without burning out or losing direction?
In this ProductTank Porto session, we welcome Mariana Trigo, Founder of Tekya.io and Career Coach in Tech, to explore what it truly means to transition into Product and build a sustainable, successful career in the role.
Drawing from her experience working closely with product teams, engineers, and professionals navigating career transitions into tech, Mariana will share practical insights on how to move into Product with intention and how to thrive once you’re in.
This session isn’t about a one-size-fits-all roadmap. It’s about understanding the realities of Product roles and building clarity around your own path, including how to:
✨ Navigate different paths into Product (from tech and non-tech backgrounds).
✨ Set yourself up for success in your first Product role.
✨ Develop the skills and mindset needed to grow as a Product professional.
✨ Avoid common pitfalls and unrealistic expectations around the role.
✨ Progress in Product with confidence, impact, and sustainability.
Expect honest conversations, real-world examples, and actionable guidance for anyone considering a move into Product, recently transitioned, or looking to level up in their current role.
We’ll wrap up with Q&A, networking, and drinks with the ProductTank Porto community.
