How hard is it to get a PM job?

Is it possible to land a PM job in the current market if I have 2 months and aggressively look for jobs. By Aggressively I mean, not just easy apply on Linkedin or even rather any org’s job board but actively sending cold emails/dms to founders, product heads and hiring managers and also trying to utilise professional connections. PM with overall 5 years of experience across Product (3 years), Marketing and Strategy/Business.

Note - I am a product manager too 4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks) It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor. Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.

Recently my company posted an opening for a PM job (5+yoe) on LinkedIn and i got final year engineering students from Tier 1/2/3 institutions in my DM asking for a referral for the job. I was like wtf at least first get 2-3 year of any corporate experience and then think about moving to PM role. Why are freshers preparing for PM job out of a sudden

I'm interviewing for a PM role at Flipkart. Done with 3 rounds and was told there at 3 more rounds? I think that's unusually high. What's the avg salary for PM at Flipkart? I'm interviewing for PM 1 but ideally would want a PM 2 role. Exp: 2 years as PM post MBA (tier 1) 2 years as Android dev and 8 months as PM pre MBA

As the title says ☝️

I am a 3rd year student from tier -3 private college, pursuing btech is it possible to get PM roles just after under graduation, have seen people from tier -1/2 pursuing vague branches like coal mineral sort of engineering and still be able to crack roles as a PM at tech companies . Also one should aim for a role like this after undergrad or just it demands more exp? Also any roadmap you would recommend

No, I'm not talking about the job market. That's dog shit -- barely any vacancies, and engineers earn 25%ish more. However, in a world with 10x better Co-Pilots and other GenAI tools, problem identification is going to be every employee's moat. 'Tech-Enabled' Business PMs will have the brightest futures. There's already a rise in PM-led vs Eng-led startups. This will become clearer 5-10 years down the line. Also, supply-demand is not as skewed as you think. Everyone thinks this job is easy, and hence, a bunch of folks are aspiring PMs on LinkedIn. I believe quality PMs are still rare (personally have a long way to go). Would love to hear more. I'm young in my career and maybe naive but this is what I feel.

1. High pressure on timelines- business and top management shits on you if you don’t deliver on time 2. No power to control the outcome- engineers don’t listen to you neither does the design or analytics team, you end up begging for resources 3. Too much politics- business or a senior PM can steal your bandwidth anytime 4. Lack of recognition- if it succeeds business did it, if it fails it is product teams fault (engg never gets blamed for shit)
