PM - Skill enhancement/ Career growth

Hello! I am an entrepreneur who has 4+ years of relevant experience as a business analyst and of Product Manager. I am looking for a PM opportunity, as I could not scale my venture.

My experience was majorly focused in the growth domain with e-commerce and SaaS projects. I have completed a couple of PM courses to brush up my knowledge.

I have applied for 200+ companies in the past month, but did not hear back from anyone.

Kindly share any advice so I can upskill myself more effectively. Also please share some insights on how I can get referrals from my network.

I am on the same boat...not getting any revert even after multiple applications. Possible reasons:

  1. Demand is low and supply is pretty high
  2. specific demand like need SAAS monetization product manager with x yrs of exp etc.
  3. Profile not very impactful kike you dont have brand of major product company

What do you think are the potential reasons ? Are you doing anything specific to manage these?

I agree the job market is not flourishing as much as it did 2 years back. But things have been improving for the last couple of months.

I am completing courses, revisiting notes, sending out connection requests to product folks at different companies, practising interview questions and reading PM case studies.

After applying for so many companies without getting a revert, I believe it's wise to narrow down the approach.

I will start talking to PMs on LinkedIn and will try to apply through referrals. On job boards like LinkedIn there are a couple of thousands of applicants for every single opening. And I have heard more than 60% of jobs are closed through referrals and remaining through job postings.

Good luck!

Do you guys foresee the situation improving in the coming months!?

The uncertainty involved in PM is really making me wonder about the long term viability of this role
