Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I’m dumbfounded when the best piece of advice I hear is that its a numbers game and probability is supreme.
There’s got to be a strategy that one applies to shortlist from the ocean of offers out there.

- applying in the same domain as your current company?
- platform or regions where recruiters are more active?
- directly talking to freelance HMs and doing a deal?

If no hack, just share what worked for you? And how are you optimising the job searching?

Give me your best strategies for job hunting?

1. Accept that it's a numbers game. Especially in this market  
 2. Embrace that there may be a super stupid person on the other side . E.G - My CV was rejected at a big Web3  startup, but I persisted : went through a reference spoke to HR and showed her how the CV is a 90%+ Match. She ended up fixing an interview. What if I didn't have a referral? Jata na 
 3. There is only one hack - get that CV in front of the hiring managers face : through referrals, through problem solution one pagers that I've DM'd directly to founders or hiring managers, consistently applying to the widest net, getting friendly and maintaining good relations with head hunters: I've helped so many head hunters with their other mandates unrelated to me, just for the sake of it. No expectations.  
  
 DESPITE throwing such a wide net, it still is roughly taking me 9-10 months for my next gig. Sure I'm looking at leadership mandates and woh roles by default halway mein nahi khatam hote.  
  
 But play the numbers smartly is the only way. Send a 100 tries out (but customized and personalized not spam) and tab hi kaam karega.

Has anyone noticed how common “Follow ups” is becoming in the workplace?

Huge amount of your work hours goes only for “Follow ups”

Like you literally have to follow up for the smallest things. 

Why do I have to remind people to do their part?

Ex: I have 1 member who I have been following up for 8 Months for a work that can be done in just 1 day. 

And he is not the only person I have been following up.

Imagine guys, how unprofessional and danger this is to work culture & Company Growth.

Follow ups is a Danger!

Cold mailing/message

Consultant

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Many companies in their rejection emails say "we hope you don't mind if we keep your details on file for the future. If a suitable position becomes available as our team continues to grow, we'd love to reconnect with you and may reach out in future"

Has that ever actually happened? If yes, what's the story behind it?

Has a company reached to you after sending the rejection for consideration?

Im a Product Manager 1yoe in a SaaS startup.
I had a good experience in the first year. I got to build a product 0-1, competitor analysis, work on creating prioritization frameworks, UAT, content marketing, wireframing.

However, since January the compamy started their stabilization phase, and PM's are now taking care of Sales and lead generation(Content, Ads etc.). The nail in the coffin is we are getting dragged to follow up renewals( Customer Success) 🤢

Im currently motivated to building something new, and it feels like we are being dragged into everything as the company does not want to hire. With no pay hike or any adfitional benefit.

Please advice. Should I look for a new job?

Hi folks. So I just finished all the rounds for a role in one of the leading retail companies (name starts with A). I thought the rounds went pretty smoothly. My friend works there and she told me that the hiring manager liked me. 

After all the rounds were over, I reached out to the recruiter on updates and she asked me what is my notice period (this was on 9th March, I finished interviewing on 2nd). I told her it’s 60 days but negotiable! I thought it was going in the right direction. 

I follow up again yesterday and she tells me that she hasn’t heard back from the interviewers yet. 

I was kinda banking on this as I have a non-tech role and this was a great opportunity which is quite rare for my skillset (content, creative). 

I do want to get some opinions on how should I read this entire exchange with the HR!

What should I make of this response?

Brand Communication Manager

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.
