I’ve been a product manager for a few small to medium product companies over the last 12 years. Currently a GPM at a ~5k employee company. I’ve been learning and writing code for years now, but never ‘seriously’ - just side projects and a few MVPs. Looking at some ‘most popular full stack interview questions’ - I easily know 99% of the answers and I feel confident I’ll be able to make an impact. Above all - I really enjoy it. I’m considering changing lanes for a bit and trying my luck as a full stack dev. I want to shift the balance from being focused on talking to people to actually making stuff with my bare hands.

A few things I’m curious about:

- Did anyone walk this path and survived to share their experience? Will I regret this? - In today’s market, any tips on how to even get to a screening call with my apparently irrelevant CV?

Any other thoughts welcome.
