AMA - 6 years in PM + 5 years Analytics

As the title says ☝️

How frequent and important are behavioural questions in PM interviews? I kind of really struggle picking a story at that moment and identify the level of details to be shared. Eventually, I see myself rambling and losing the interviewer. Any experiences or inputs that can help. I’ve gone through resources online for prep but looking for more experiences that worked / didn’t work for people.

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that. Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI. Look forward to all questions :)

Namaste ji!! If anyone's made this sort of a transition (without an MBA), please enlighten me with your journey. And also if you could throw some light on how's the new role been, in comparison to analytics.

Hi PM's I have been a PM for the last 1.5 years before that I had marketing experience after which I took a career change and landed here The work I did in PM till now has been quite focused on execution part but not product/strategy neither I developed any kind of product roadmap or was involved. In job 1 (small company less than 20 workforce) - I spent around 11 months in which I created 3 apps 2 web and one mobile as per business direction and their approach towards customer and market then I changed my job because I was more interested to change my domain since I had spent around 5 years approx in a single domain and also wanting to manage a bit mature product along with to learn product strategy and roadmap and also monetary upgrade I was the only Pm here spearheading everything below me were QA and project co-ordinator and outsourced developers In job 2 (A company with around 400-500 employees) - I have spent around 4 months as a PM here it's a new domain their product is a bit mature has thousands of users but again I feel the same as I felt earlier I have been doing more execution work rather than strategy and roadmap or learn any new skills neither I feel the boss is very helpful and he's is the co-founder of the company. Here also I am the only PM here but tech is inhouse and we have a great bonding in terms of work but everyone feels dissatisfied nor they have learnt anything new since arriving. There are also concerns at company level which I feel are scary that their goal is to optimize costs from everywhere possible and they have not been paying salary on time plus the upper management is also implementing extreme micromanagement on tech and product function as we all feel like we have been just striking list from sheet in terms of development which we are supposed to complete. I am again thinking to switch job but the market is not well as it was few months back I am in a bit of dilemma here on what is right and what is not?

Will entertain only serious questions that respect anonymity. I don’t mind humor, but trolling is strict no no. Conducted one AMA session last week & was overwhelmed by both number & positive feedback. I might choose to skip any question repeated from last time. Some things about me - I love to code & go beyond coding - Managed a team of around 20 people before - I love mentoring people - Presently overseeing the architecture and lifecycle of a suite of products Don’t mind me giving you some useful gyan 😀

I’m currently working at a B2B SaaS company as a PM. I have a great interest in analytics but not getting enough exposure here and my role has just got so redundant and more like project manager. It’s been really difficult in the last couple of months as growth seem to have stopped and I am really scared about my career. Experience - 1 Year Current Comp - ~17LPA fixed with some Esops Should I consider switching to analytics ( I am confident about my skills which will get me something in analytics ) given my current situation or try to get another good role in PM to which the market has been really cruel lately. Need some advice!!

I am looking for PM opportunities at MAANG companies . Have overall 10 years of experience with 8 years into Product Management . Currently working as Sr PM at Target and located in Bengaluru. Any referral would be highly appreciated Thanks
