Are startups not actively hiring PMs anymore ?
The startup I was working for shut down a few months ago but I don’t seem to be getting my hands on something interesting (2 YoE). Is it me or is it just the market?
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.

What does your day to day work look like?
Different roles, have had different kinds of days.
Why don't you start your own thing? I'm sure you have enough insights from your experience
You say SAAS / TechPM like it’s some bad word.
