Moving from an engineering role to a product role is a massive career change. I don't think this is reasonable advice, even with the current technological revolution, unless you have a deep, personal interest in product management.

Not necessarily product. You can become a manager, or a technical lead.

Same. You don't move to a management role unless you have a real calling for it.
