All suggestions are welcome.

How to Crack product manager interview- Grapevine

What questions are asked for a product mgmt interview? How can one become a PM without tech background? 
I have product strategy background.
In interviews i am able to ace product sense / product strategy questions but when it comes to tech, unable to show the required tech acumen (due to lack of actual exposure to it).

Should I just stay put in product / business strategy roles or move into product mgmt?

Reasons for moving into PM - want career and monetary growth, build tech stuff and not just strategise stuff. Have 6 yrs experience (2 yrs pre MBA data analytics+ 2 yrs business strategy + 2 yrs product strategy).

Cracking PM interviews?

I am an experienced professional with 7+ years of experience as Business analyst looking for a career transition to PM role. I am facing huge challenge in getting interview calls and cracking it. Can anyone help me with long term mentoring to crack my first PM role? 

I am targeting this goal in next 6 months..

Need a mentor for cracking the Product Manager role.

Product Owner

I have been a PM for the last 3 years but my interviewing skills are really bad.

I have sat through a bunch of interviews. Read decode and conquer cover to cover, but even then, I've made little progress. 

I know I'm not bad at the role because I have gotten frequent hikes and created tangible impact on every product I've worked on.

The interviews I have cracked are mostly due to luck and my conversion rate is poor. 

Would love to get some insights from folks who have experienced the same roadblock.

Have 4.5+ years of product experience in e-commerce, IoT space. Finding difficult to even get interview calls. Is there anyone else who is struggling too? What are the measures are you taking? Any advice?

I have been trying to get a PM job for last 4 months. Any suggestions/help?

I have 2.5 yoe in total, 1.5 in product. Was looking for a switch since Jan '24. Finally, an interview has been scheduled next week.

Now, I have no clue what they are gonna ask in interview. I can explain what have I done and all, but no clue about case studies or framework etc.

Would be great if someone could share their interview preparation strategy for product roles.

If you have given an interview,
Kindly tell the firm name and the questions they asked.

Thanks in Advance 😃

How to prepare for Product Manager Interview?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working as a Product Manager at a well-known insurance firm. After being in this industry for a while, I've realized it's not the right fit for me and I'm looking to make a switch. However, with the tough market conditions, I haven't had much luck finding new opportunities. I'm really interested in transitioning to tech-related Product Management, Marketing, or Strategy roles, but most job postings require 2-4 years of industry-specific experience in tech.

I've also heard from colleagues that it can be difficult to switch industries when you have a background in insurance. This has left me feeling a bit demotivated and unsure about my prospects. 

I would love to hear any advice or suggestions on how I can better prepare myself for these roles and increase my chances of landing a new opportunity. 

A little bit about my background: I have a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MBA from IIM and 1 year of professional experience

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

How to get product roles

I have total 6 years of experience working in product strategy roles in a couple of known unicorns and from tier 1 engg and MBA colleges. 

My team was dissolved back in nov 2022. I have been on a break since then as i had to oversee construction of our rental property back in my hometown. It was long pending. It is a vital income stream for my family. 

I have been trying for a job for last 2 weeks. I haven't been able to get interviews aligned in product / strategy domain.

Now I am getting restless. I don't know why hiring POCs are not reverting to my interests. Need help here folks. Am I in a soup due to career gap? What can I do to overcome this situation? Good ideas are highly welcome :)

Need urgent help..not getting calls :/

Hey everyone. My career aspirations have changed after doing a 2 month product management course. I'm a devops guy now but previously I've been an SDE. The internal switch is not currently possible for me due to some policy. How do I apply outside? I've applied for bunch of companies with no responses so far. 
Any guidance would be great, thanks

Getting into product management

Project Manager

I am a 2023 graduate and a product Enthusiast. I am from a top tier NIT but unfortunately no companies come for PM roles. I have no idea why. I have a placement in a very good company and a very good salary but im not satisfied because its not in Product. 

What are my options, what do I do? I am not at all interested in another rat race to the IIMs and MBA degrees. 
I just want to work and hustle. 

What can I do?? 

Appreciate all the suggestions. 
Thank you

Product Management bootcamps

Hi guys. My company is probably going to go under soon.
I am from a decent Grad college which is not famous and from a worse MBA college which no one knows.
I have 2 yoe as a Data PM.
This is my order of priority:
1. A big company which won't fire people for the next 3-4 yrs.
2. AI Product Management. I know stuff but very little experience. No formal education here.
3. Fintech since my current role involves finance and accounting stuff

Would love referrals, mentorship and gyaan.
