Hello everyone,

Saw quite some people doing AMAs on this platform from VCs to Engineers, but nobody from Founder's Office roles.

Knowing that this role is somewhat new in the job market, not many people still know a lot about it. Shoot your questions, would answer them to the best of my capacity.

Background: Worked in the FO role for 2 FMCG brands, before joining a Fintech where I am working right now. Graduated from BIT, Mesra in 2021, but started working alongside my graduation coz of COVID.

AMA - Working in Founder's Office from past 3 years.

Founder’s Office

Hello Everyone, 

I am a 2018 BTech (NIT) pass out and  2022 IIM pass out with a total of 2.2 years of Workex (1.2 yrs post-MBA) and currently working as an Associate Product Manager. I am not really enjoying my role and I feel Product Management is not suitable for me because of multiple reasons some of them being,


1. I am doing issue resolutions rather than problem-solving which I love to do.

2. I am not very much interested in driving technical discussions or solving technical challenges in the process of Product Development which is the case in my current role. 

3. I want to be part of a Business role where I can leverage the knowledge I have gained during my MBA and work on some problem statements related to the core businesses of the company. 

4. There is no skin in the game of a PM compared to Devs, QAs, and Designers. As a PM I feel I am just delegating, prioritizing, and following up with the requirements. Most of my learnings are around managerial aspects and not business knowledge. 

5. I want to be a part of business roles where I can go deeper into problems and come up with my recommendations/thoughts on them. 

I am looking for new roles where Strategy, Analysis and Core Business Problem solving are involved. I am really not sure what kind of roles are these. 

Please help me with the roles I can explore and how to approach the job search for such kinds of roles. 
Thanks In Advance.

I will start applying to them.

What do they look for?

Strategy Consulting

I'm in business strategy and majorly worked across different startups

When looking for a new role, HRs tell me they are looking for specialized experience, or my experiences do not count as they are less than 2 years (in each company)

I like being a generalist, I have learnt much more than I think I would have in a specialist role

What do you guys think?

I have 4YOE, currently in a seed stage startup

Preparation Strategy for SPM roles

Hello folks! I come with 4 years of work experience out of which I worked in very small but great agencies for 2 years. In the past 2 years, I’ve been on the growth generalist side but I’ve taken up some great amount of responsibilities. 

- I’ve driven user adoption for a feature from 0 to 1 million 
- I’ve worked with giants like Disney on their product strategy
- I’ve handled budgets of $1 million for a year long campaign and successfully reached the target metrics 
- I’ve also closely worked with the leadership on several new initiatives, acting as a program manager 

I come from a non-tech undergrad background but honestly, I’ve worked on entire product cycle ranging from finding the right solution for different features, identifying third party providers to creating user flows and wireframes.

I’m on the lookout for a new opportunity, already quit my job. Work has gotten rather crazy with so much time out but considerable change in leadership affecting me negatively, having to build credibility every time. I’ve had my manager change 4 times in a year. 

If you know any startups that would be happy to have me, I’d love an intro. 

Thank you!

Are there any organisations hiring for Senior Sales Operations/ Development/Strategy roles. Experience around 15 years. Do chip in. Current org is getting restructured on a massive level lots of people getting affected.

Senior Sales Strategy Role

Strategy & Operations

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?

Keep looking around, apply and eventually you're bound to get a good job I promise you. Just treat it as a numbers game. Ask your parents help with the credit card bills if you don't have enough corpus, there is no shame in that. You can give the money back to them when you're in a better position. 
  
 You're a nice person from what I know of you in this platform, you got this sis! Ending it all is not a good option for the people who care about you, and you're probably gonna look back later and smile and be glad for making it through

Hi i have been recently offered a corporate Strategy role in a US based company. Currently i work in a back end IB profile. Is the profile worth switching?

Corporate Strategy Role

I have 2.5 yoe in total, 1.5 in product. Was looking for a switch since Jan '24. Finally, an interview has been scheduled next week.

Now, I have no clue what they are gonna ask in interview. I can explain what have I done and all, but no clue about case studies or framework etc.

Would be great if someone could share their interview preparation strategy for product roles.

If you have given an interview,
Kindly tell the firm name and the questions they asked.

Thanks in Advance 😃
