Freshers can be hired for product owner roles imo

Machine Learning Engineer

Isn't being a PM about knowing all about the product and industry and requiring some amount of experience? Can freshers be hired for PM roles?

I believe that PM roles require much more experience in understanding the product rather than making product teardown as projects which literally anyone can do. I don't see a real skill involved, it's like a person who is a consultant but being overpaid because he is too much involved in the product. It's the startup culture which started. I think Project/product manager roles should be a promotional mark for experienced software developers or analysts.

Do you think PM roles should be there for freshers?

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)

I believe Product Management is a really toxic role

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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.

I am done with this product management shit

How is the Product Management market in India?
I have been hearing that compensation for PM roles are coming back to pre-Covid times (a few exceptional people I knew got laid off but found higher paying opportunities within weeks)

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

PM role after Undergrad ?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work in a slowing industry (Ed-Tech!) in a generalist role (Project Management!) for half a decade now! You'd think I would be better positioned to deal with life! Heck, NO! 

This crippling feeling of insecurity or job loss always puts an extra stress on day to day life. I couldn't take any risks in terms of a house or a car or a big EMI purchase in life! 

What if I get laid off? Will this generalist role help in landing anything next? Do I need an MBA for that? Switching to any specialized roles will take extensive preparation with time being in short supply with family and kids! 

Seem to have been strangled in the startup world. Any cure for this?

P.S : Sometimes thinking : Mommy sahi bolti thi. Govt job le leni chahiye thi. :D

How to get rid of layoff fear and feel secure?

Project Manager

I am getting into my second yr of MBA I did an internship in the area of market research and have skilled in power Bi, Excel, google analytics...have a good research mind and analytical thinking ability But I don't know coding i can't say my coding skill is bad becuz I don't know or don't have that skill. How can I become prodman don't have any other work experience i am a fresher

What should I need to do to become a PM

I've been told that my working style and expectations as a PM don't match with the current situation in the company (no strategy, simply executing) and for that reason, they don't want to assign any new work. There are no appraisals either for anyone, people are leaving the company.

I'm not sure what to do about it now. I have 1.2 years of work experience and every PM opening expects a minimum of 3-4 years

Tacitly laid off - confused on what to do

Please let me know about the companies looking for product managers/analysts for freshers. Internship and FTE roles both are to be considered.
Thanks.

Any company hiring for Product Roles for freshers?

its advertised as minj CEO role but what is the reality?

Why is Product Manager becoming dream career for many?

Software Engineer

Would you rather be an Engineer learning how to Product or a Product Manager learning how to Engineer?

Answer is obvious mate. And it's already in motion. 
 Everyone knows current product management breed is a messed up fraudulent bunch. They will run into poverty if they don't change ways🙂

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Do you think pure product managers with no technical background add value to your company? Aren't experienced project managers with penchant for business more suitable for this role?

Do you think product managers with barely 2 years of experience required in your company?

Analyst

->The question is will a MBA help to make the switch or a jump easier...or having work ex and then going for MBA is better ?*
I'm an economics graduate (FRESHER) and currently working under 'growth and retention' having a decent exposure as the team is small...though I plan to switch from this role to PM.

WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME INPUT ON THIS.

Product Marketing Manager

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

Why is there a sudden rise in craze for PM job

i have seen a lot of startups/companies asking for 2-3 years of work exp for an APM position? i feel if you've 2-3 years of experience in product you should go for a PM role? is any startup hiring for APMs that are freshers (or w product internship experience)
