Yes. I have searched for PM freelance work , found almost 0 leads. Another reason not be a PM.

Product Manager

Learn hard skills while you can.. dedicated PM skills get lose value in down market..

PM in non mature orgs are essentially program managers. Some do it in founders office, others do in slightly structured leadership away from founder. 
  
 Why - what you work next month is not predictable. It's the nature of startups. With evolving priorities, iterations, new learning you are leading one project to the other. Get things done. 
  
 Pitch it this way - pick a project by working with the founder. Be a fractional employee. Moonlight if needed.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm wondering if there are actually any freelance or part-time opportunities for product managers.

I have only seen PMs work in full-time positions.

Is PM by design a full time function?

Fellow PMs do share your 2 cents on this! 🙌

Since PM is more of a remote friendly role, what are some good ways to find freelance PM opportunities from US/UK/Australia/Singapore, etc. ?

Freelancing as a Product Manager

How can I find freelance roles as a PM? Took fellowships, participated in a few teardowns, created a decent portfolio I believe, currently doing part of product work at my company (23 F Bengaluru).

Freelancing Product

Associate Product Manager

I have 6+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Strategy primarily in the Fintech & Payments domain. 

I am looking for places where I can get opportunities as a freelancer to build my portfolio and earn extra money. Please suggest places/ websites from where PMs can get opportunities either as a freelancer or consultants.

Freelancer/ Consulting opportunities for a Product Manager

Hey folks, 

I have been working as an Associate Product Manager full time for the last 1+ year, and everyday I feel that I am not doing something impactful although I do have a lot of work on a daily basis. 

Initially, in my first year of college I explored growth roles and out of fomo being a BTech student tried exploring, tech by doing DSA, Android Development and FE too. Honestly, I was too naive to decide where I should go and coincidentally I got to know about PM and there you go, I went on to do 2 years of PM internships and now 1+ year full-time role. 

I thought, everything would be fine with time but I guess, I have spoken enough lie to myself and now I should move on. 

I have started learning FE from theodinproject.com and I believe, I will be back on track in the next 2 months. 

I just want some suggestions/help from seniors here, on what should be my strategy to get into FE roles? 

It would be super helpful for me. 

Thanks in advance 🙌

PM to FE 😞😞

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is there a good market for consulting/freelancing opportunities for product managers? If yes which are the popular platforms?

Product Manager freelance

PM role, part time engagement, equity.

Until we reach pmf, i only expect consultation on video calls and slack chat. 

After pmf i expect full time. Matching salary.

Product - A low tech solution for non tech savvy brands to reduce their ad spend upto 40%.

Problem - Indian d2c brands spend $7b every year on ad spend. Achieve <2% retention and ROAS is <2. This is because their is no other way than ad spend to acq customers.

Tech - something at the cross-section of ecommerce, web3 & influencers economy.  

Core team in place - 2 engineer, 1 coo. Enough cash to survive till pre seed and get early pmf. 

Will raise pre seed $1.5m. 

Founders: ex-Swiggy Udaan Uber Microsoft Zomato Rapido

At end of the yr 5...
Best case exit for you: ~7-9cr.
Avg case: 3-5 cr.
Worst case: 60L-1cr.

Looking for PM cofounder

Founder

With the recent influx of talent who are trying to enter the world of PMing just because they overheard that PMs are CEO of the product, and they get paid really well, the bar throughout the industry is decreasing. 

While we need more PMs, I feel most of the 2-3yoe PMs i'm meeting either for interview or guidance are more like COGS in the wheel. They are doing more and more of Program Management. Any PM at any level should spend atleast 10-20% of their time thinking about product vision, and how will the world look like if their product succeeds in 1y). 

We need folks like Anuj, and other senior veterans, to come up and train the middle management of most of the companies to really improve PMing as a function in India

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Product managers are a divisive bunch. Ask us what we do, and most of us puff our chests and babble about Steve Jobs, PMF and god-knows-what. The rest slouch and mumble something about writing JIRAs.

Curious about how non-PM folks view us - both good and bad!

What do you think of Product Managers?

I’ve been into startup product management for about more than 5 years. While the problems are interesting at times, the daily life is mentally draining. I can’t think of anything else apart from work even post working hours. Feels like there’s no life/identity apart from the work I do. I try taking time offs but it gets back to where it was in no time.
I want to transition to PM roles that have better WLB. Not sure if any startup could offer that. Is a PM role at a big tech services firm less stressful - WITCH, maybe? If so, what could be the best route to get to one.
At this point, I think I’m ok doing boring projects as long as I can take the work off my head after working hours and balance out a better personal life alongside.

PM roles with better WLB

Product Owner

Is there a PM community without people posting on asking for referrals, salary expectations or how to crack into PM?

I understand these are pressing pain points, there are millions of places where these pain points can be addressed and already gaining more attractions.

Product Managers need a community to share and learn the experience from other Product Managers. Let me know, if any community like that pops-up. 

Please don't get triggered by this post, I have been through the phase of cracking into PM & interviews so I understand the situation.

There are different communities, please try it and it has high response rates too.

Another PM community filled with job referrals/salary

Anyone doing well in the freelance space for product managers? Any good sites for this?

When asked at the end of the interview, what questions do you generally ask the interviewers? There can be two types of interviewers, one from the PM org and the other from the engineering org (in later rounds) and usually senior folks. What type of questions can be asked to both types of panels?

PM interviews: What questions do you generally ask interviewers after the interview?

Curious if there are any PMs who started their careers as product designers or sth similar. If yes, would love to know your story. If someone around is has a similar story, would love to hear that as well!

Any designers turned PMs?

Product Designer

I have been lately curious about the two PMs (Product Manager vs Program Manager).
If anyone can help with answer to these questions that would be great

Does your company have both roles?
If yes, are salaries for both on par.
If not, who gets more salary

Product Manager vs Program Manager

I'm looking for a freelancer Product role. I have over ten years of Product experience, and I have worked with B2C and B2B domains in the past.

If you are looking for one or know someone, please let me know.

I can provide more details later.

Have a great day!
