Hey GRAPEVINERS, do you have any idea about upcoming APM programs and when their applications will be open , it would be of great help if you guys could share it here

Upcoming APM programs

In July 2002, Google did something crazy:

They hired a 22 year old computer science student and made him the product manager for Gmail.

Gmail engineers were shocked.

Gmail was the most important new project at Google. Its target was 10M users.

And this guy, who was just out of college, would be the PM?

But they were overruled, because Google had a bigger problem:

Product managers.

Google couldn’t find good PMs.

Co-founder Larry Page rejected all the super-experienced PMs from Microsoft, McKinsey, etc.

They talked about management and strategy and business. Larry Page hated this.

He wanted Google PMs to be technical.

Otherwise how would they work with the engineers?

That’s when a Google VP, Marissa Mayer, had an idea:

If we want PMs with technical skills and don’t care about their experience, why don’t we hire computer science students from college?

Thus, the Associate Product Manager (APM) program was born.

Brian Rakowski, a 22-year-old CS grad from Stanford, became the first APM. He was put on the Gmail team.

Brian was scared.

How could he work with super experienced, super senior engineers on a super important project if they didn’t respect him?

Marissa gave him the answer: Data

She explained to Brian that a PM didn’t give orders to engineers. His job was to be helpful to engineers.

If he had an idea, first he should do a small test on 1% of users. If it worked, he should show the test data to the engineers to work on it.

Thus, data became the centre of decisions, not seniority or politics.

The rest is history.

Gmail was a huge success.

APM program was a huge success.

The first APM, Brian, was a huge success. He’s currently the Vice President of Product Management at Google!

Can a fresher with overall 2years of experience
(1year in tech and 1year in product) find APM jobs abroad?

I have learned many big companies such as Google, Uber, Spotify, Walmart, etc have their own APM programs but do they really hire Indian students or hire only from USA? 

If yes, how tough is the interview process?

Just got a call and was accepted. 

Questions: 

1. Has anyone been a part of this program? What can I expect? I only know organic marketing, and want to explore newer domains (perf, retention, campaigns and more), will this program help? 

2. Location is Mumbai, was wondering if someone could help with housing assistance, I can give anonymous contact details (Telegram/Discord)

3. Does Google negotiate wrt perks, benefits and bonuses?

Hey,

So I completed my prelims round @google , cleared it
completed 3/5 and its been almost 10 days - haven't heard back from my recruiter.

I have just one point of contact, so feeling kinda helpless as to whom I can reach out to.
Like i followed up thrice now over a period of one week - very respectfully.

I mean its my dream role and honestly, every day not getting any response is honestly painful - even If I didn't make it - At least I should hear back right? and I understand the number of applications must be extremely high - but still the process should be somewhat smooth right? Its Google after all.

Any suggestions on how to tackle the above situation?
