SPMs are simply starting out their independent business, afaik my circle is concerned. They are either switching to more hype-proof domain or simply starting out on their own.

Product Manager

LinkedIn has had a lot of SPM openings for some time compared to PMs/APMs. The proportion is reverse if what would be expected in my opinion. Am I missing something?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Where did SPMs go?

Where did SPMs go?- Grapevine

Hey there everyone, 

I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

I'll get straight to the point, I've been applying for jobs for last 3 months and i haven't got a single call back or interview calls from anywhere, I've applied to 100 of companies, from entry level job to mid senior level job, I've tried every job portal, I've tried getting referrals, hell I've sent 500+ cold emails, I've also tried tailoring my resume for the role.

Now a little bit about myself:


I'm currently working as a product analyst and have 3 YOE. I did my b.tech from tier 1 college and graduated in 2021.
Right after graduation i got a job with a decent package.

So considering my profile and YOE, it shouldn't be this hard tp get a job or even a call back!!

Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?, or anyone care to give any tips.

Ps: why the hell are companies asking for 5-6 YOE for an analyst profile??!!!

Thanks y'all
Cheers

How do i get a job?

How is the job market for APMs and PMs right now in India? I see a few companies hiring but have heard that folks have not received any good responses.

Is job market for PMs opening up ? I see increase in postings but not sure.

Senior Product Manager

The stupidity and arrogance of some leaders in some companies to use colleges as filter criteria for what is clearly irrelevant for the role. 

Mostly these idiots end up fucking up company after company creating these neo-casteist groups sucking off and living off each other.

This identity based hiring is the start of corporate politics. I still don’t understand how difficult it is for fucking idiots to understand that while hiring for most roles you have to encourage diverse backgrounds at the start of the process to help you hire the right candidate for the long term, specially in a startup. 

PS I’m not against preferring candidates from certain colleges if it’s relevant. What i do hate is this herd behaviour of trying to hire only from your alumni the moment you are given leadership roles.

It must be such shitty experience to work under idiots like these if you are not from their alumni colleges because their biases play into all evaluations they do about their teams.

Idiots hiring! Pocketfm edition

This is pretty common, has been like that for ages. It’s their company and their rules. You also have the freedom to NOT apply. Maybe they have had better experiences with candidates from top tier universities. Remember getting into most tier 1 colleges is itself difficult and only top talent make it. Also get better academic infrastructure, exposure to alumni networks, etc. So there are high chances they will do well. 
  
 Doesn’t mean that candidates from non-tier1 universities can’t excel. Some can be equally good or even better. Maybe these guys don’t want to take a chance with this role.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

When will the undeclared Hire Freeze gonna end? Most companies have been saying they will fix an interview, and ask me dates as well. But the expected meeting email will never come. It's not about rejections, companies filter soley via expected salary in the first step.

In addition to this, companies arent preferring candidates who are ok to relocate as well.

FYI: Ive been looking for APM role for past 2 months. Fine with generalists roles as well. Appreciate with any leads.

Thanks

Anyone hiring PM or SPM ?

Software Engineer

Hello! I am an entrepreneur who has 4+ years of relevant experience as a business analyst and of Product Manager. I am looking for a PM opportunity, as I could not scale my venture.

My experience was majorly focused in the growth domain with e-commerce and SaaS projects. I have completed a couple of PM courses to brush up my knowledge.

I have applied for 200+ companies in the past month, but did not hear back from anyone.

Kindly share any advice so I can upskill myself more effectively. 
Also please share some insights on how I can get referrals from my network.

Hi,

Not sure if this is due to market but how can I improve on it.

PM v/s SPM

AMA - 2 yrs SE + 9 yrs tech recruiter in product startups.

Lost my job at a small startup a few months back. Was working as an APM there with a total of 18 months work ex as an APM. Did my MBA and 2.5 years as a data analyst prior to that. Unable to get any interviews so far.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Looking for APM/ PM roles

I want to understand (probably recruiters and folks who switch a lot can answer) if PM / SPM salaries have taken a hit due to so many layoffs, poor hikes, fear of losing job, etc. 
Want to know how much has it been impacted? And what is the new norm? Say for a PM / SPM with 4-6 years of experience, what should be the salary expectations now (vs 1.5 yrs before)?

Anyone hiring for a PM2/ SPM role currently?

Open roles?

Hi all, I am a 32 year old working in fintech with around 6 years experience. I have been with my current company for more than 3 years as a PM and not getting the kind of growth/perks/learning I was expecting in last one year after our acquisition. Also, few more things because of which I am looking to move out of my current role:

1. Uncertainty in my career growth (whether I will be made SPM here due to lack of projects)
2. Salary, top concern as I am looking to get married, get a home loan to buy a property and pay off my education loan taken for MBA. With Current salary, I have savings but not enough to prepare for future.
3. Bored of my industry. I have been working in the same industry for last 6 years where there is not much innovation. I want to move to more exciting spaces such as AI for which I am doing machine learning courses. 

So, looking for any referrals for the SPM role. Mostly, where my career can be stable on a longer term (not looking for startups as can’t take too much risk/paycut at the moment)

Looking for referrals for SPM roles

Hi! 

I have had about a decade's worth of experience mostly in the ops-biz side of things. I've been part of the 0-1 and 1-10 journeys of some very successful startups in food-tech, fitness, ride hailing etc. In my current org, I was hired for a business role (I was the 5th employee here), but as the product team was formed, I transitioned into a Product role. It's been a few months into the role, and things like roadmaping, wireframing, design etc are coming in intuitively to me (surprisingly!).

Now here's the thing - I feel I need a salary correction (given the transition to Product from Biz), but I don't know what is the salary band for SPMs. 

Do note, my org is not tech-first, infact is a subsidiary of a hospital chain and so I'm not really expecting them to match VC backed startup/tech salaries. But even then, given that I lead an entire pod, what would a good (non-inflated) SPM salary look like?

Average SPM salary range?

Associate Product Manager

Got laid off from my first product management job. Was the company’s first APM hire and built 70% of their client facing features from 0 to 1.

As an early PM with 2 years of product experience (3+ if you throw in analytics roles I’ve done before), what will be a good fit role for me? 

I’ve narrowed them down to 3 
1. PMM
2.PM-1
3. Founders office roles 

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of going into each role after a long APM stint (slightly less than 2 years, was their walking GPT for every tec-product-business thing they did, also was informally managing 3-4 people)
