    Hi, thanks for your excellent question! I would like to ask also @Rana M. comment this from recruitment point of view.

    Here are a few key skills that can help you to get started in the Product Management area:

    - Basic technical know-how: Having a good understanding of things like networking, coding, or data analysis from your studies makes it easier to work with engineering teams and get a feel for what the product can actually do.

    - Thinking about the customer: Even without long work history, being able to put yourself in the user’s shoes - understanding what they need, what’s frustrating for them, and how the product helps.

    - Problem-solving mindset: Being able to look at data, figure out what’s going on, and come up with smart solutions is a big plus, especially when working with technical stuff or market insights.

    - Curiosity to learn: Get familiar with Nokia’s products and ways of working will help you grow fast.

    - Good communication and teamwork: Being able to explain your ideas, listen to others, and work well with different teams is important.
