Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

Share your experience. Is it as simple as slogging the PM prep books, taking mocks, etc? With the influx if so many candidates from cohort based courses, how easy or hard is it?

Product Manager job market

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

How is the market currently for product managers?

Test Engineer

Hello folks,

I have total 2.5 yrs experience & 1.4 yrs of experience in product where I have-
1. worked on very early-stage startups(e-commerce, fulfillment)
2. collaborated with multiple teams
3. managed product life cycle
4. helped in creating good user experiences

With the current competition in the job market, im having a difficult time finding one. 

Im not at all happy at my current job. There is no sense of respect & recognition whatsoever. I feel like im stuck between multiple excel sheets. There is no core product work happening.

If my profile seems suitable for an APM opportunity, kindly reach out.

Current location- gurgaon
Notice- 15 days

Thank you.

Hi folks,

I work at a startup (been 2 years now) as a PM. From the last 12 months, my work has mostly revolved around strategy, business intelligence, program/general mgmt. I am now planning to quit and move on. However, I am not sure if I want to continue being a PM, because it's very overwhelming honestly and I actually enjoyed the last 12 months as a generalist. 

Need career advice from fellow PMs whether to pursue program mgmt/strategy/general mgmt/Chief of staff/new initiatives roles or devote 100% of my time to prepare for PM interviews and also try to make up for the last 12 months by doing side projects and maybe even interning under a senior PM 

Some pointers about me:

1. I have 2 YoE in PM. 
2. I have a CS degree from a tier 1/2 college
3. There is no particular reason to quit. Job is chill

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

How is the PM market right now ? How to prepare for bigger organisation ? I have 1 yoe as APM in an early stage startup-looking to switch.

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 ?

Profile:
- Engineering degree from a Tier 1 college
- ~3 years of experience in product and analytics in adtech firm
- Currently serving as a lead product analyst, earning around 15 LPA.

Worked tirelessly to switch roles to a Product Manager position, but was denied by management and received an underwhelming appraisal. As a result, I feel that I'm not earning my true potential and feel devalued by my firm. 

I am considering a switch, I would appreciate guidance on whether it's a suitable time to make a change, or if I should wait until the job market recovers.
