I would encourage you to work with your manager and possibly HR to get a chance to spend some time with someone in product management.  That way you can learn about the positions and responsibilities a bit more.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You might also see my post on the path to general management, which talks about moving to an adjacent discipline.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm sorry I can't be more specific but I would not want to offer advice on such a limited amount of information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--Steven&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=476711" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: MBA Opportunities at Microsoft </title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/techtalk/archive/2005/09/28/475021.aspx#476575</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:58:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:476575</guid><dc:creator>Azoto</dc:creator><description>Hi Steven &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Next year I am planning to do an MBA, over the last few years I have been focused on the technical side of computers because it’s the one area that I have had the most enjoyment, exposure and opportunity. I’ve now gotten to the stage where I want to try the business side of MS, but one of the problems I am having is how do you make a move from a technical environment to a business one within MS. When you look at any jobs in the business side of things you need experience in areas that I wouldn’t have given my technical background so i would really have to take 4 steps backwards to test whether i make the grade or not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would be interested in getting your comments here&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Azoto &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=476575" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: MBA Opportunities at Microsoft </title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/techtalk/archive/2005/09/28/475021.aspx#476422</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Oct 2005 17:23:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:476422</guid><dc:creator>steven_sinofsky</dc:creator><description>Hi Bean,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the suggestion.  &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=476422" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: MBA Opportunities at Microsoft </title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/techtalk/archive/2005/09/28/475021.aspx#476370</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Oct 2005 14:02:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:476370</guid><dc:creator>Bean</dc:creator><description>Hello Steve.
