Category P&L / Strategy / Distribution / eCom profile

It seems the job market is really bad now. I only see B2B SaaS/Tech PM roles posted around.

Where are those good old days where having a business P&L experience, coupled with pure strategy experience made yours a killer profile to land really cool and impactful roles at top startups and orgs in general.

It seems startups, especially eCom ones, are almost dead now (in terms of hiring business non tech profiles). There were a few promising startups that had emerged such as Udaan, 1K Kirana, City Mall, PayTM, etc. where a business P&L roles would have been suitable. But all these startups seem to have gone down the drain, with hardly anything remaining now.

Good roles - where the hell are you hiding?

Even the slightly senior executives (SVP/CxOs, etc.) across various startups are forced to do job hopping these days I see.

And hiring managers / HRs who reject people if someone switched frequently in the last 3 years - surely you have been living under a rock with no idea of how many startups/organizations went bust after COVID.
