1) Is it always as unethical as it seems?  
 2) Isn't it boring?

Depends on where you work. Most Ed tech companies are tech companies trying to sell education. I would suggest people to work for an education company that uses tech well to provide their solutions, that way tech scales well

Product Manager

And no it isn’t boring, I’ve loved teaching since years and edtech sector provided me with an opportunity to work with people from various countries, and backgrounds. It’s amazing

How do you make sure product lead growth happens? Give examples.

Working For An EdTech AMA

Assistant Manager

How is this program? Do we actual get to learn something? I’m planning to enroll.

Is Airtribe’s PM Launchpad course good?

Audit Manager

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience)

Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage

Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally

5 years of failure (Entrepreneurship) AMA

Founder

I am current a Lead Data Engineer handling basically 6-7 engineers. General daily work is around research and development. Trying to move to Product management. 

Bit confused on how to mend the resume. Have worked on all the generic task of a PM basically. Can you suggest something? ✌️

Resume buildUp

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

Resources for Non-Tech PMs

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am honestly just furious at the pay difference between the salary of an sde and a pm. Both work just as hard.

Why are project managers paid less?

Senior Product Manager

Hi all, I am a mechanical engineering graduate with no experience. Looking to transition to product management. Completed Nptel certificate courses in product management. Please mentor /advise me about the mandatory requirements to get my first job in PM.

Mentor me

Story Time - 

1. A few weeks ago, an old friend reached out to me for help in finding a PM role. 
2. She got laid off from her first PM role ( before that she worked as an engineer). 
3. Recommended her to a few places but everywhere she faced rejection.

Learning this, I thought maybe I could help her prepare. She also wanted to do mocks as rejections impacted her morale. During this prep phase, I realised her PM skills certainly need significant improvements. But unfortunately, we realised very soon that person wasn’t ready to improve. She defended all the mistakes shamefully. 


It’s been almost 4-5 months now & she’s not able to secure a role. Worst thing is that she started giving PM Gyaan on topmate, unfortunately anyone can become mentor nowadays without knowing the fundamentals. 

Baseline - People should be well aware of such inexperienced mentors as they can screw your mindset, and money with limited real knowledge.

Topmate guidance, gyaan🤡

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Question is more towards understanding of a developer. May be at SDK or developer tools. 

Would love to understand on what can be built around SDK or developer tools.

Developers, How do you think PM’s can make your life easier technicall?

Just want to know how much technical is the PM's on GV. PM's need not code but are you a technically comfortable prod man if you haven't transitioned from comp sci / engg background.

PM's which end of spectrum do you fall into?

Associate Product Manager

Hi Folks, coming across on linkedin lot of posts by PM Influencers and it is literally overwhelming. How to separate good content from the annoying ones. Can an aspiring PM fix to few consistent quality resources and do quietly PM work.


Are quiet PMs able to learn more on product management.


Day by Day Linkedin posts on PM by PM Influencers are shitholes.
