Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

Product Manager

Need to crack new PM Role- Grapevine

I have 9+ years of work experience in Product Management, mostly across startups. I wish to experience working at BigTech/Faang companies. I don’t have an MBA. I graduated from IIT. Have no coding background. 
Serious and genuine advise would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please advise to crack PM roles in Big Tech companies

Tier 1 MBA, 5 years of consulting plus corp strategy experience, 2 years data science exp pre MBA. Current ctc around 45.

Speaking to friends etc in the PM roles, I've developed an interest in the role. And would like to give it a fair shot. Just can't seem to figure out how. Any pointers would be really helpful.

Those of you who managed to break into a PM role after upto 5 years of non-PM work ex, how did you go about it?

Strategy & Operations

I am a 2023 graduate and a product Enthusiast. I am from a top tier NIT but unfortunately no companies come for PM roles. I have no idea why. I have a placement in a very good company and a very good salary but im not satisfied because its not in Product. 

What are my options, what do I do? I am not at all interested in another rat race to the IIMs and MBA degrees. 
I just want to work and hustle. 

What can I do?? 

Appreciate all the suggestions. 
Thank you

AMA 🎙️: Hey all, I am pmsprint, Director of Product Management at a Unicorn in India!

Hi folks, looking seriously for a job switch as a PM primarily in the fintech space.

Highlights about myself:
-> I have ~ 3.5 years of work ex.
-> Entrepreneurial stint in the wealth management space where we were trying to build an AI assistant to automate everyone' s personal finance. 
-> MBA From ISB post closing the startup due to regulatory slowdown 
-> Wanted to get a PM role in the campus placement but, due to market conditions, got a job as program manager in a lending startup. I had high hopes from it but it turned out to be utter disappointment on many levels. 

I know the market is not great right now but I am optimistic that it's not that bad. 

Any help or referral would be really appreciated :)

Looking for PM role referrals

I am looking for a PM role opening in Bangalore/ Remote. I have 3+ years of experience as a PM in B2C and B2B ( SAAS) domain. I have done my MBA and Btech from tier 1 institutes. It would be really awesome if you guys can provide some reference.

Looking for referrals

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?

Hi Everyone,
I am a recent MBA graduate from one of the IIMs and I have 3 years of experience in software development and team management. I have landed up in the sales strategy role in an Insure-tech company, but I am actively looking for a career shift in tech product management. Can anyone refer me for a tech PM role in their team?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, or ask to DM.

2. If you know any other company hiring:
Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page.

3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, do share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out.

4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience.


Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected.


Happy Hunting/Helping 😃

Senior Software Engineer

Hi, I know it’s a much debated topic but I wanted honest views of my fellow grapers/viners/grapeviners. How valuable is an MBA as a PM? What are the trade-offs - MBA vs Non MBA? Does it affect the career 10 years down the line?

About myself: I’ve 3.5 years of work experience as a PM in the BFSI sector. I did my engineering from a tier 1 institute and started my career as a PM. Currently wondering what to do next. The learning experience in the current company has been below par as of today with no signs of improvement. I would like to explore VC, PE but I’m happy with PM too. 

If you are pro MBA, bonus points for suggesting any relevant courses. If against, then please suggest any upskilling resources 🙌🏻

TIA
