Hi guys, I am about to graduate in a month(Btech,NIT-Civil). I am adept(skilled) in data analysis, Product roadmapping, Feature prioritisation, UI/UX etc. I also have a PM internship experience. The problem is I am unable to land any product analyst/ APM full-time roles. Any suggestions, guidance will be of great help.
Thanks guys,
Lol. It's a fraud role especially for a fresher. Strap your belt and toil hard in core engineering or analytics tracks. You said you are good at data analytics. Start there, or better pick up AI Engineering skills and then maybe move to PM later.
Checkout other posts here on PM roles, you will find our how hollow and fraudulent your life will become if you startout as Product Manager right from the start.
Thanks for the advice, I have a bit of knowledge on Machine and Deep learning. Maybe will start looking for a job in analytics.
You can try out Nextleap’s PM fellowship - however you need to be in some top 10% I think to land interviews via them but can explore.
PMing skills are mostly learned on the job. You literally cannot be good at product roadmapping untill you do for 10s of time with real stakes.
Stop with the buzzwords, best path is to start with a data analyst role. This will make you data oriented, and that's a huge plus when PMing later.
I would suggest that you don’t say that you are “adept” at product roadmapping and prioritisation in interview.
These are not skills needed by APMs since you will get a narrow scope to execute on in the beginning. And it is unlikely that you have them if you haven’t worked in product long term
Focus on design ability, user empathy, market research, Analytical ability and data analysis. Maybe try and get a high level understanding of the tech stack so you can work better with engg.
