Every Tom, Dick, and Harry can become a PM. Not a good one, but sure, a PM. Isn’t that what the marketing strategies of these courses tell you anyway? They don’t really state how good you’re going to be. Besides, most people don’t really purchase them for the course per se, you can learn it for free online. They mostly purchase it for the placement guidance/assurance.

Growth and strategy

Yes it's true. We need some good gatekeeping.

Product Manager

All good courses have a gate at the start and don't allow everyone to join

That's just to show people exclusivity, the line has become thin.

Totally agree. What is even that gate? Just a simple form on why you want to become a PM? 
  
 That's just a gate without a keeper.

Is it just me or even anyone else who's noticing that there are too many PM courses. And the courses are portraying as tho every Tom, Dick and Harry can become a PM. Linkedin is flooded with teardowns. What y'all think ?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

What do you think about the product management courses in the market? 

Every PM certification I see, it's creating robots, making learners adapt to similar way of speaking, same jargons, same processes. 
Has the hype done more good than bad?

PM Courses are not Worth it?

Almost every other post about PM function is as eye opening as this. What do you guys think?

PM future seems bleak?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking forward to venturing into creating courses and cohorts for aspiring PMs and growth courses for senior folks, among many other ideas. But before starting, I'd love to request you folks to highlight a few things that are missing or not well explained in the current offerings, which are widely available over the Internet.

Any pointers here would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Course/Cohort for aspiring PMs + Growth series for Senior PMs

I’ve probably seen 15+ young, impressionable college students fall prey to PM course scams in the last month only. PLEASE DO NOT JUMP INTO COURSES THINKING YOU’LL END UP IN PRODUCT MANAGEMENT FOR LONG. Please build some hard skills - SQL, Analysis, Figma, basics of python, basics of APIs, prompt engineering etc first. APMs who don’t have any hard skills and are only good at user journey, product sense, bettering a product, etc., would be massacred very soon. Shift to PM after some work experience. I’m getting my LinkedIn flooded with requests which look similar - 

Hi , I’m enthusiast about PM, read a few Nir eyal, Theils, have worked as an intern on <Unknown Product> and would like to apply for Position at your company. I’ve done blah blah courses and feel I’d be a good fit. NO YOU WON’T. Please save yourselves. :(

Advice to College folks on PM career

Need a feedback. Are PM roles drastically reducing?

Software Engineer

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

Coming from a SPM.
Lifecycle of most PMs:
1. Become a PM
2. Keep posting same trite content on LinkedIn
3. Then register yourself as a coach on some PM community.
Nothing against them but frankly none of them ever post a content or article on what features they have launched or worked upon.
Forget any launch,they won't even share the domain learning.Most of the time it will be the copy pasted content from Marty Cagan and Shreyas Doshi

Too much bakar from PMs
