LinkedIn Cringe : SDE teaching PM after learning from course. When this pandemic of unwanted mentors will end? 🥲- Grapevine

If you attend any live session they will preach frameworks are not useful and gimmicky and will end up posting tons of of LinkedIn for reach and infuencer status
 kaha se aate h ye log??

So called mentors posting shit frameworks which aren't even used most of the times

Associate Product Manager

People on LinkedIn posting their off campus experiences, then selling a course in the end, while WILLINGLY not mentioning the date of interview. Some of them even mention on campus experiences without full disclosure. Feels like a major slap in the face for people like us who are struggling in recession.

Entirely possible that many of them lie about these experiences too. I respect them for navigating off campus positions and applying and getting jobs, but things were way, way easier back then. To go through bloodbath right now and see those posts, just feels like major tone-deafness on their part.

Or maybe I'm salty af (I am).

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Every second/third post on my feed is promoting some mentorship/coaching. Fed up with it. 

The post starts with some gyaan ( mostly related to interview) and then ends with mentorship or coaching promo. Especially people who cracked interview at amazon and microsoft. And now any random company. Some post has pic too, which is fully unrelated to the post. 

From SDE’s perspective. 
Job at work is different from interview. And i am sure current employees, if they have to go through interview process of the same company for the same position, most of them won’t be able to crack in the first go. ( Unless they know the exact questions to be asked ). 

Coding rounds.
Companies usually have a set of questions (question bank) and interviewer picks question from it. Except for the very exceptional case, it is quite difficult to solve these questions if you haven’t solved them ( or related questions) earlier in the given time. So, it all boils down to how close are you to their question bank. 

So, instead of other things, if linkedin mentors posted about the questions they were asked, that would be more useful.

[Rant] Linkedin mentors

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 Marketing Manager

I empathise with this person.

But

This is an important learning for all the young folks - wasting time of those fancy headline tags, regurgitating public knowledge on LI won’t help. Many hiring managers look for a person who can fold the sleeves and work, not play “advisory” roles in general. 

Focus on real work, even when you’ve free time spend it on health, friends and family. 

P.S. - This might sound preachy but I wanted to highlight when everyone wants to be a mentor before becoming a learner.

Learning : Content creation & network effects

Hello everyone,

I'm a non-engineer who's been working as a PM/APM for roughly 1.5 years.
 I wanted to know what kind of course (short or long) could help to progress in a product management career (especially if I'm targeting to work in the sports/gaming/fitness/entertainment industry in and around Mumbai or anywhere remotely)

Would really appreciate inputs from experienced PMs

Pathway to Progress in PM Career

[Thread] What is the one thing you could add to PM, so that it doesn’t become the HR of jokes?

I'm working as a technical product manager who has transitioned from analytics/data science role with over 5+ yoe and 2yoe as PM. I am earning in the range of 35-55LPA right now. While I am happy with the salary, I am not content with the role I have performed as PM so far. When I go for textbookish PM tasks and roles, I feel I don't do so much in my daily routine. Because of the nature of companies I worked in I didn't get a lot of hands on exposure into UX and the growth side of the job.

I don't have a lot of confidence with many areas of product management and feel like at this stage for me to grow needs a significant skill and confidence boost. To do the same I'm looking for courses/degrees. I'm hoping to get more better opportunities if I have certification in my portfolio.

What are your thoughts on the topic? Also, if you could suggest whether Hero vired certification in product management partnered with INSEAD will be a good choice? I will really appreciate objective feedback / frameworks that will help me with making the decision.

Ranting.  Just read a post about how a super-human struggled with the interviews and finally got an offer from Bigtech. That super-human wrote a whole damn essay on it and received 30000 likes. I knew it would upset me if I read the whole thing but they did it anyway. Now, I’m depressed. I have removed all 14 of my connections who liked and commented on this post. Any other workaround to cure my depression?

The cringe post on LinkedIn about getting a job at Bigtech

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Have you observed this trend of getting scammed? 

Early career professionals ➡️ Online Courses
Colllege Kids ➡️ FAANG/MAANG didi/bhaiyya
School Kids ➡️ JEE cram schools

Here’s why career advice is generally bad.

1. Those who share career advice online are generally out there trying to shill you paid courses. They tell you what you want to hear so you pay up.

2. Any career advice that works will lose its edge over time. Because it becomes widely adopted, and that’s precisely because it works. 

Example:
If everyone is building a portfolio website then it becomes the defacto standard. I’m not saying that don’t build a portfolio website. 

What I’m saying is, that it becomes less effective over time because you building one is not a clear differentiator.

Imagine sending a letter by post to an early stage company’s founder where you want to work, he might be more willing to schedule a call with you because you chose an approach that they might not have experienced first hand ever. 

Also, I’m not saying that the above said approach will work, since it’s unproven you’ll have to experiment and evaluate if it works.

Maybe a good heuristic is to “do what it takes to stand out” and that means being creative with how you navigate work life. 

3. Those giving advice generally impose their thought model onto you. They make assumptions basis what they think is right.

This is not a bad thing but it does not account for your specific constraints.

Finally, if you do want to ask for advice.
1. Ask “How” questions to those not much older than you, since they are executing in the trenches.
2. Ask “Why” questions to much older folks, you try to get closer to their first principles, which is the base level truth that cannot be divided further. 

Avoid asking “What” questions to anyone, generally it’s good to think them through yourself.

[Thread] Why Career Advice is generally bullsh*t?

Linkedin has become  a place where people post about cracking tech interviews without any tech discussion. Every guy with or without MAANG gives guidance to clear interviews but none of them posts a single stuff about the tech itself.
Cracking tech interviews in India has become hype like JEE.
