Many skilled product managers face difficulties in transitioning into financial technology roles due to the lack of direct fintech experience.
There is a perception that working in fintech validates product managers' careers, leading to excessive competition for these roles.
The line between fintech and other tech is becoming increasingly blurry, and many product managers already have relevant experience in areas like payment flows and financial data handling.
Fintech companies should reconsider their hiring approach and recognize that great product management skills can transcend industry boundaries.
