Based on your experience can you suggest me a way forward

Hi everyone, I’ve been working as a Product Owner for about 6 years now. While all of my experience is technically in product, it’s almost entirely been focused on the delivery side (execution, managing the backlog, shipping features).

My goal is to transition over to the business/strategy side of product management, but I’m feeling pretty stuck on how to actually make that leap. I see two main paths forward, but I'm torn:

  1. Look into an Executive MBA with a focus on product or strategy to bridge the business acumen gap.
  2. Just keep grinding and switching companies until I find a hiring manager willing to give me a shot at a more strategic role.

To be honest, I’m feeling a bit anxious about the future. I look ahead 5 years and panic at the thought of still doing the exact same thing just writing user stories, building roadmaps, and chasing delivery without actually driving business outcomes or learning anything new.

if I don't change something soon, I’m going to look up in 5 years and realize I haven't learned a single new skill just endless cycles of roadmapping and feature delivery.

Is Dog Walking services needed in Sagar Nagar

Hi All, I am conducting a quick survey to see if anyone looking for dog walking, grooming, or in-house washing services are needed here in the Sagar Nagar area. I'd love to know if there are pet owners who are looking for help with their dogs' morning or evening walks.
