I’ve hired for PMs at 2 unicorns. I never got any CVs of folks that had done a PM boot camp. Not one. Mostly tier 1 mbas, or ex PMs, or engineers/designers/analysts applying for a PM role. Others I guess were screened by HR.

There are just too many candidates for too few roles. So a capable candidate loses out to another equally capable candidate with a tier 1 MBA, or relevant experience.

I think your HR needs to look beyond MBA, will help in lowering your recruitment costs
PS: Yes i am a non-mba :p

It’s not just my HR but of most companies I’ve seen. MBA is a good proxy for many relevant and desirable traits that would be difficult to ascertain otherwise in an interview.

If you are hiring someone and expecting 20-30cr of impact, a few lakhs here and there don’t matter. In fact you want to pay a bit more to ensure the outcome

Very shitty. Do not join at all. Placement support is at best for entry level roles

Personally feel it's over priced for what they are offering. The placement are also not that great

If you want to be PM, try to do a internal transition best way if you are working. No point in relying on a course to get to a pm role now. There’s a lot of material plus joining product community like The product folks should help you.
