Welcome to Banking & Finance's Private Community

Hi All, I'm looking for a PMO role with a total of 7 years of experience and 3 years of experience in handling multiple high value projects for a bank. Any referrals appreciated.

Looking for a PMO role

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!

Any PM or  PMO opportunities in Hyderabad ?? Can anyone please Refer me.. overall 13+ exp

Indian. I am a SDE (backend) currently. ~2 yrs exp. 16 LPA and I work 40-50 hrs a week. I like where I am, but I am not feeling the zeal for tech anymore. Probably will do a MBA down the line (thinking abroad, not sure) 

Looking for equal or greater pay, similar WLB, new domain. Should I switch to PM and try a hand at it? 

Am I aware of the reality or living in my own isolated reality?

Switch to PM?

Hi, being at a mid senior position, I’ve been torn at what should my next move look like? 
What I’ve realised is Product Management is domain and role influenced. Currently I’m generic and own an entire platform hence I know a little bit of everything. Data, tech, AI, you get the picture. 

I’m starting to wonder where do I go next? Should I delve deeper into maybe Data or AI or technology so that I can become a data PM? Or a tech PM? 
Or should I keep growing horizontally? But that feels so crowded and I feel comes with a glass ceiling.

Career trajectory for non-tech PMs

I'm currently working as a digital marketing manager and I have little to no experience in the IT field. I do ,however, have a lot of experience dealing with teammates, leading them and coordinating them. Can my management and leadership skills help me transition to a Non IT project manager? (Transitioning because, the pay is good). Is this a good move for me?

Are non IT project managers still a thing?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Note - I am a product manager too

4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), 

Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks)

It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor.

Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.
