In my current company there is no product manager for my team, for a very long period of time, have been raising this concern for a very long period of time, but no action has been taken in this, few of the good folks also left the company due to this.
In the interview can we mention that not many product development requirements have come in and the work has been mostly bug fixes or some minor features?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am currently managing a product, which has not really scaled up as expected over the last 1.5 years.

Hand to heart, I can say I have given my best in terms of efforts but still the outcomes are not as expected due to many factors beyond my control.

Now this has created a perception amongst senior management that my team is working very slowly and not able to build what customers want.

It is very difficult to change this perception in short term

I have asked for change of product portfolio multiple times but that is not getting entertained.

Any suggestions if I want to stay in this company (other than the very obvious - looking for opportunities outside the organisation.)

Career dilemma- Product Management

Im a Product Manager 1yoe in a SaaS startup.
I had a good experience in the first year. I got to build a product 0-1, competitor analysis, work on creating prioritization frameworks, UAT, content marketing, wireframing.

However, since January the compamy started their stabilization phase, and PM's are now taking care of Sales and lead generation(Content, Ads etc.). The nail in the coffin is we are getting dragged to follow up renewals( Customer Success) 🤢

Im currently motivated to building something new, and it feels like we are being dragged into everything as the company does not want to hire. With no pay hike or any adfitional benefit.

Please advice. Should I look for a new job?

Office Assistant

4yoe Engineer turned Product Manager. It's been 8 months I joined this B2B SaaS startup as an APM. Engineering team... mostly interns. Most of my time goes into execution following up with devs. Is the PR reviewed, is the bug fix deployed. No Jira, scrum, sprint planning whatsoever.

CEO runs the whole show. Only fear driven product management. I have no idea what it means to work on vision or strategy. My career has started off with a shitty foundation. Everyday I feel like quitting. What should I do? Quit right away or wait n switch to a better company?

Not sure what Product management I am doing

Nothing is working for me

Product Management Advice

If you get laid-off, would you look for a new job immediately? Or take a break? Or explore for an alternate career?

Senior Software Engineer

I started working as a junior product manager last year. Unfortunately within a few months the company ran out of funds and I quit before they shut operations / laid people off as I could sense it was going to happen. I joined another startup and it's been about 6-7 months but in the hunt for revenue and profitability my product isn't important for the company. Not enough developers/ senior PMs/ designers/ is assigned to the product and it is consumed elsewhere even though the overall performance of the product, metrics, have improved. It's hard to work as a junior PM without guidance.

I am in 2 minds now if I quit how will other employers perceive it? Will it seem like a frequent switch? And any suggestions for switching or applying anywhere where product guidance is good, not looking for a hike/ but a good company, good product, same pay scale and good guidance.

Junior PM Situation

So, I sent a mail to a recruiter to which she replied with this JD. The requirements seem similar to a product role but not completely. What do you think? Should i go ahead?

Is this a Product role?

1st issue:

It has been almost 2 years since I joined a company as a fresher. Got the increment twice but still have the same designation.

Planning to switch after the completion of 2 years, will it be a hit point that I worked in a company on the same designation for 2 years??

Should I ask my manager or head to think about changing it?


2nd issue:

I do financial+ market research, data analysis, and working on a product that is yet to launch (I know this product more that anyone, not a developer but did robust improvements in it, gave several solutions for it, can say that I'm unsung Product Analyst here).

Based upon the above task, what should be my designation?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey everyone,

I've been working with this MNC for over three years now, primarily working on one project since the beginning. Lately, I've been feeling like my growth has plateaued, and the work has become quite monotonous. My manager has mentioned that exciting new development tasks would be coming my way soon, but unfortunately, these opportunities haven’t materialized for over a year now.

I'm at a crossroads and unsure of the best course of action. Should I consider resigning to actively pursue new opportunities, because preparing for interviews while working and managing a 90-day notice period might be challenging? Or should I continue on with the current project while simultaneously exploring new job options?

I'd really appreciate your insights and any advice on how to navigate this situation. 

Thank you!

Hey folks, 

So I work as a product intern and have an offer to join full time as an Associate Product Manager at a Fintech B2B startup upon graduating. 

So cutting to the chase, 

Recently I have been under tremendous pressure to deliver a product. Our organisation does not have any senior product manager to help guide and I report directly to the CEO. I have been given far too much responsibility and an extremely sophisticated product has been put in my care. 

This product requires a lot of technical expertise and we do not have that kind of resources. I have put this point across to my boss multiple times over the past few months and he always says we will do it. 

He goes and promises clients that this product exists they even did a soft launch of this product when we literally have not built more than a few screens. 

Our company has a high employee turnover and people keep quitting left right and centre due to the Co-founders toxic attitude. 

Recently I have been feeling very anxious starting work in the mornings. Most days go late into the nights because the Co founders work in a different time zone. 


So the dilemma here is this, I feel the urge to quit this job but at the same time I am afraid that another opportunity will not present itself soon. They also pay me pretty well compared to other product intern roles out there. 

I know a lot of people are out there fighting for a product intern or an APM role and here I have it and am considering quitting. 

Please feel free to ask me any follow up questions and forgive me if it sounded more like a rant. 

I am open to hearing your advise. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Do you think pure product managers with no technical background add value to your company? Aren't experienced project managers with penchant for business more suitable for this role?

Do you think product managers with barely 2 years of experience required in your company?

The job market has dried up for senior product roles. Do you think the situation will improve soon? What's your overall outlook of product management as a career beyond 10 years? Do you see yourself doing this for another decade?

Asking mostly from a supply and demand point of view. Also, has seen that the role is becoming more and more vague and replaceable.

Context: Leading a 6 membered product team in a series B funded company. Managing the ceo/cpo opinion differences, moving to wfo from remote, high work pressure and too much reporting. I have been working with series A, series B companies throughout my career.

To people with 10+ years in product management, what's your outlook for the future?

Hey all

I am a working as a technical product manager from 2+ years in a nbfc. My manager has given me the option to switch to business product manager.

Reason for switch : Our product (LOS and LMS) is a complex and extremely large. Due to this, I had asked for a additional product manager. Manager had hired it reluctantly. Now he feels that product does not require 2 products. 


Has anyone done such switch? How was the experience? Should I switch or should I deny?

Hey everyone,
I am kinda product guy. Since my 3rd year this industry fascinated me. I have done 1 year as a software developer with fintech and edtech startup after graduating from IIT Bhubaneswar. Since two months i am thinking i can add more value in product management rather than product development. Please share if you have any leads.

Software Engineer

I'm an associate product developer with over 3 years of experience. I previously worked with Java, Spring Boot, and Docker but left due to a poor work culture. For the past 2 years, I've been with my current organization, but the technology stack here is outdated, and I was misled about working on Java. I don't see growth opportunities and feel disconnected from modern technologies. 

How can I prepare to switch to roles involving Java and Spring Boot?

Need Career Guidance

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

I have 3 YOE as a manual tester. I love my job but sometimes it can get monotonous. I've got really good communication and management skills and feel I can do well as a product manager. Is it a good idea to switch in terms of growth? (Please don't suggest automation, I do not enjoy coding at all)
