Rant about product tear downs on linkedin
If you are in the product management domain,u must have seen people post their product teardowns on linkedin,such as "ordering food on zomato", "playing a song on spotify" or writing a review on myntra etc.
These just seem plainass dumb to me and involve zero thinking and seems to be just ppt making exercises.I get it if you are exploring a new product or not one used before,but making teardowns on such common products??Do these even help in any way??
I get it that trying and testing a product is the first step to understand any problems in it but what is the need to make a ppt out of just trying it,that is like a 10 15 minute work for most of the consumer facing products.
Is there any sound to this madness or do you agree with me?
Yeh sab karna padta hai to get the certificate and also qualify for hiring roles that nextleap provides. Seems useless to me but if it works for someone, kya hi bole
Do you have any idea of how good the hiring roles of next leap are or they?Do big unicorns or companies actually visit them?
It might add some value for sure but hiring aspect is quite competitive. They take in 100s of students and only forward the resume of the top 3-5 students per batch. If you’re confident you’ll be the 99th percentile, go ahead. Wrt companies, the ones I am targeting do not go for Nextleap etc. They’ll prefer hiring laterally with experience or go to IIM ABC for APM roles. Nextleap companies would be seed to series A startups most probably.
Most of them are just doing it for some random product management course or cohorts so that they can have a random certification to show up 😀
