I'd say I'm a pretty strong PM with decent brand names on my resume (Top 5 non-IIM MBA, best-in-the-class SaaS startups). I've even optimized my resume to the satisfaction of a FAANG mentor. All in all, I think I should be getting call-backs. But that's not happening. 

Weaknesses: No-name B-Tech college, no BigTech brand names, No large consumer brand names

Any advice or experiences? Especially from FAANG PMs and Hiring Managers?

How to get shortlisted for FAANG PM Role?

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I want to break into FAANG and companies like Uber, Walmart, MSFT and the likes but unable to do so. 

A bit about me:

BITS Pilani 2021 grad. I have ~3 YOE as a PM, 2 years at a major ecommerce unicorn and now, I'm at a relatively mid series C startup. I had to quit that unicorn because of toxicity and health issues, I still kind of regret it.

For my next move, which I'm planning in the next 2 years, I want to get into FAANG+ companies, but I'm afraid that since I'm not working at a company like Swiggy/Flipkart or a company of equivalent brand value, I won't be able to make it even past the resume screening. 

What should I do from here? Is it impossible for me to get into the companies I have mentioned?

What should be my path to becoming a FAANG PM?

Getting through FAANG resume screening is so frustrating

What could be the possible reasons for my resume NOT getting selected by FAANG?
Few points to know:
• My profile is Data Science related
• My resume is only 1.25 pages
• I have total 6 years of experience and all is in
Data Science
• I'm applying to jobs as per my experience level only
• I have industry-relevant skillset and projects

Resume is NOT getting shortlisted by
FAANG

Senior Data Scientist

Profile- 4 YOE, B.Tech from old IIT
I started looking for new roles towards the end of June, and it took me approximately two months to get an offer letter. My skillset in a niche technical area helped me to get this offer. My advice to folks looking for a job, focus on your strengths and do not get discouraged. It's brutal out there, but you need only one job. Stay focused.

Hi All, would love to hear your thoughts/ideas/strategies on how to switch from a Senior Customer Success Manager role to a Product/ Project Manager role. 
Brief background - Total Work-Ex 9 years (2.5 years in IT services pre MBA + 6.5 years in Sales/KAM/Customer Success post MBA). Recently have switched few companies in search of better roles/compensation and that also reflects in a negative way in resume. Not able to get even an interview call while applying for PM roles. 
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

How to get into FAANG

Test Engineer

Hello! I am an entrepreneur who has 4+ years of relevant experience as a business analyst and of Product Manager. I am looking for a PM opportunity, as I could not scale my venture.

My experience was majorly focused in the growth domain with e-commerce and SaaS projects. I have completed a couple of PM courses to brush up my knowledge.

I have applied for 200+ companies in the past month, but did not hear back from anyone.

Kindly share any advice so I can upskill myself more effectively. 
Also please share some insights on how I can get referrals from my network.

PM - Skill enhancement/ Career growth

I am from Tier-I CSE grad, working in startups since college. Not sure why, but never have my resume got shortlisted in MSFT and Amazon. I am not sure what they try to find in my resume, or whether they even look at it or not. One thing I am sure is I can crack their interviews 4 out of 5 times.  I have even cold-emailed managers and recruiters but they don't even reply. Any suggestions?

Hi. Would anyone know of awesome product openings in companies? Currently at Amazon; looking for a change. 7+ YOE.

Senior Product Manager

I have 5+ years of total experience - 3+ years of BA (business analyst) + Sr BA experience and a year of Product Manager 2 experience. Then I started my own venture.

I'm thinking about switching back to the product manager role as my firm is not working as per the expectations and product development & growth marketing is something I genuinely enjoy working on.

I need some advice from you all - how can I justify my 'employment gap'? 
What should I tell (or rather hide) about start-up failure?
What should be my approach while applying for PM openings? Where should I start?
I have graduated from an IIT, how can I leverage that?

I know some of these questions would sound noobish, but I really don't have much experience in switching careers. 

Your help is appreciated 🙂.

Need some serious advice

Hello friends 
Hope the title is self explanatory
Some context, I am a SDE - 2 with 3 yoe and my resume never gets shortlisted . 
Whatever interviews I had given were because of recruiters reaching out to me on LinkedIn. 
I’m from a Tier 1 college and have good ratings on codechef and CF 
I’m so confused seeing people talk about how they get 1-2 calls a day. 
Could someone please let me know what could be the issue? 
I apply to companies like Stripe, Postman, coin base , msft etc

Software Developer

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.

Need to crack new PM Role

How are these people getting such good offers with very low years of experience. 
I have 4+ years in FE and now just shifted to product management, my profile won't even get shortlisted, forget getting an interview. 

What can I do to increase my chances of getting interviews in good product companies and have a shot at getting 30+LPA
