Check their last year’s placement report to see how many tech companies that you like are visiting. Whether you get placed there if ofc on you and the competition.  
  
 Outside of placements - in tech job market I think its as good as the top BLACKI IIMs in terms of repute. So a solid choice overall.

ISB for Product- Grapevine

Hi,
I am a final year B.Tech student from Tier 1.5 college. Finding my way hard through SDE opportunities.
I was thinking of going for Product Roles (Management/Analyst/Consultant). I have good business acumen and worked in management, content creation fields in college societies, but how can I enter into Product roles. 

Please help me guide through what steps I should be taking regarding preparing my resume, LinkedIn profile, applying to off-campus opportunities(domestic/abroad).
Any inputs appreciated 🙏🙏

Please guide me for Product Roles

I'm a marketeer with 10 years of experience and planning on up skilling myself with the know-hows of product management.

I'm considering taking up ISB's Executive Education Product Management Course.

Anyone here that has done the course and knows if it's worth it? Any help appreciated!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Lately I am seeing a lot of devs transition to product management directly without an MBA. 
Those who have taken that path, is it worth it?

Why did you transition? 
What are some of the things you hadn't consider before making the switch, but faced only after it?
If given the chance, would you continue being a PM or go back to development?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I was super curious for product management roles and switch to startups was one of easy bets, my current role( 3 yr work ex as implementation consultant)  in B2B  involved customer interaction and working on requirements on OOTB product,but back then i didn't appear many interviews, i wasn't actively applying but with recent scenario of all layoffs and startups fundings, what should be a good strategy now? Need suggestions from experienced folks

What are some of the great companies to work for  as a starting PM post MBA in India. I think in many of companies role of PM is not properly defined and it caters to borderline project management.

ISB vs IIM ABC

Anybody here who has done or has any views on the 12 week course by ISB for product management, is it good or just another gimmick course? Also planning my next move so looking at the next courses to upskill!

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

Is getting into IIM to get into PM role justified?

Lately I am observing trend that product roles are going down, not many company believe in hiring product roles. At least small/mid startup wants CTPO roles and they want someone to play dual roles, primarily tech led products roles. Pure product roles is becoming lesser. Even few bigger MNCs have fewer products roles to offer. Is it just me? Or grapevine thinks same as well?

I've heard lots of conflicting good and bad viewpoints on ISB on Grapevine and otherwise. I want to explore these things more and build a balanced perspective.

Good things I've heard:-
1. Average comp is decently high as most of the batch has a decent amount of experience.
2. Professors, their way of teaching and the actual course content is one of the best in India.
3. The network is really strong, easily accessible via many channels and helps alumni land jobs frequently.

Bad things I've heard:-
1. Placement comp numbers are heavily inflated.
2. Resume shortlisting in placements is hard because everyone exaggerates a lot and there's no resume vetting.
3. Many people go unplaced.

How much of this (good or bad) is true? Any other good or bad points?

How to get product roles

Business Analyst

I am looking to internally switch to a product role. Next month, I will be making the transition. Please suggest the appropriate salary I should request in my upcoming appraisal cycle in March?

Looking to Switch to Product

I know Grapevine is full of young and ambitious people that either planning to get into Product or are already working as a PM. I don’t aim to discourage any of you. Moreover, if you need tips to break into Product I would be happy to help you.

I personally feel that knowing what you are doing is going to doom is better than normalizing it.

So I will convey my experience in simple words, how I hated every single day of it, why did I still stick around for 4 years, why product decisions are random political bullshit, why you should not let anything that happens get under your skin and affect your morale. Finally, few words for sociopathic Head of Products.

Lesson #1: Go through all stages of grief at once. Accept that product culture is broken and accept that it will not get better. Finally, you can’t fix it or improve it.

Lesson #2: Ratings are political bullshit. 
I can tell you the years I was rated worse I was probably working harder and better at my job. It just depends on the results you get in the last month before ratings and whether your DOP is vocal for you.

Lesson #3: Last piece of advice: do not let your Product years lower your self esteem or sense of self worth.

Also, some words for sociopathic Head of Products. F’ you.

You Must Get Out - My Experience of 4 Years In Product

Heavily second this. I’m a tech focus generalist who stumbled upon PMing after multiple startup exits. Absolutely bonkers role with no role definition, metric ownership, impact driving. Anyone who disagrees, is lying to themselves. What I can define PM in Indian / many valley based companies with Indian founders -> glorified bhains charane wala.
