Product Manager

Lenny started his own recruitment operations. Quabrick is a Banglore based firm. There are a few others who specialise. But want to know from PMs what their best experience was, a general recruiter, a tech focused or a product focused.

Generalist

Like hiring ? Most tech recruiters do this? Why specific agency is required?

It's just a specialization right. Most recruiters do   tech recruitment, yet there are tech specialists. Most tech recruiters do products but yet there are product specialists.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm a SDE turned PM looking for a switch. Now it's just project management at current org. I have a couple of years of SDE experience (FTE) and about 1+ yr of PM experience.

Would prefer working with teams that prefer PM with strong technical background — that's where I am most valuable. But still open to other side of spectrum.

Thanks! Please comment the org name, if you know 🌟

Which companies are hiring for PM roles currently? What are some good companies for not-so-tech heavy PM roles? Mainly looking for Growth/ Business B2C PM roles.

Growth Manager

In July 2002, Google did something crazy:

They hired a 22 year old computer science student and made him the product manager for Gmail.

Gmail engineers were shocked.

Gmail was the most important new project at Google. Its target was 10M users.

And this guy, who was just out of college, would be the PM?

But they were overruled, because Google had a bigger problem:

Product managers.

Google couldn’t find good PMs.

Co-founder Larry Page rejected all the super-experienced PMs from Microsoft, McKinsey, etc.

They talked about management and strategy and business. Larry Page hated this.

He wanted Google PMs to be technical.

Otherwise how would they work with the engineers?

That’s when a Google VP, Marissa Mayer, had an idea:

If we want PMs with technical skills and don’t care about their experience, why don’t we hire computer science students from college?

Thus, the Associate Product Manager (APM) program was born.

Brian Rakowski, a 22-year-old CS grad from Stanford, became the first APM. He was put on the Gmail team.

Brian was scared.

How could he work with super experienced, super senior engineers on a super important project if they didn’t respect him?

Marissa gave him the answer: Data

She explained to Brian that a PM didn’t give orders to engineers. His job was to be helpful to engineers.

If he had an idea, first he should do a small test on 1% of users. If it worked, he should show the test data to the engineers to work on it.

Thus, data became the centre of decisions, not seniority or politics.

The rest is history.

Gmail was a huge success.

APM program was a huge success.

The first APM, Brian, was a huge success. He’s currently the Vice President of Product Management at Google!

I am a Tier 1 MBA with 3.5 years of tech work-ex in service based company. Will be graduating in mar’23. The on-campus hiring for Product roles is pretty bad right now. How do I land an off campus product role at a decent company with decent pay

Any experienced product manager who review PM resumes in general? Or a paid service ?

Resume review

Is there a PM community without people posting on asking for referrals, salary expectations or how to crack into PM?

I understand these are pressing pain points, there are millions of places where these pain points can be addressed and already gaining more attractions.

Product Managers need a community to share and learn the experience from other Product Managers. Let me know, if any community like that pops-up. 

Please don't get triggered by this post, I have been through the phase of cracking into PM & interviews so I understand the situation.

There are different communities, please try it and it has high response rates too.

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.

I have been trying on LinkedIn and Naukri for PM roles. My friends in Finance says that Naukri is the best for them but tbh I don’t find it useful for PM roles. I am trying to connect with direct Hr too. Anyone else knows platforms where you can get PM roles and get responses too?

Hey folks

So im looking out for a switch. I have overall 2.5yrs of experience with 1.3 yrs in product.

Im looking for APM roles preferably in Delhi/Gurgaon location, but open to pune, bangalore as well.

Im facing a lot of micromanagement at my current firm from the founder(since he heads product & tech) & i dont have ownership in my role. Even the director of PM shares the same frustration.

I feel like after a year of working here i wont have much to show in my cv in core product work. 

Just to give an example: i started an initiative to call customers for general feedback(satisfaction, whether they actually want what we are doing) & i was told to shut it down & work on things which doesnt have any customer validation.

If there are any opportunities available, kindly reach out. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA🙂
