The Product Pivot | From BDR to Associate PM: Christina Aragon's Non-Linear Path into Product
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most PM careers don't go in a straight line. Christina Aragon's went through civil engineering, software, sales, and a seven-month job search before she landed her first associate PM role.
In this episode, Christina gets honest about what that non-linear path actually taught her, and why it might make her better at the job than someone who went straight in.
We dig into what the associate PM role really looks (they're rarer than you think), how her engineering and sales background helps her speak both languages, and why imposter syndrome doesn't care how experienced you are.
If you're pivoting into product or wondering whether your background counts, this one's for you.
