Hi everyone! Any BCGDV folks on here who can help me prep for a product manager interview? I had an intro call with the recruiter and he mentioned that I was supposed to do a presentation on Growth, monetization strategies. Can you please connect with me or comment below so I can reach out to you? I am super passionate about landing the job and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!

Thoughts on when applying for a product manager role and then the recruiter tells you they truly want to bring in someone who has product experience and so they flip your process to customer success manager? The CSM at this company makes 17% less than what my current base is..I really like the company, product and idea of stock options but taking that much of a pay cut doesn’t seem worth it to me. Any thoughts appreciated

Levels in tech. Is a staff program manager/ engineer/ product manager a higher level? I always thought staff was an associate level ( referring to EY) . Kept applying to staff roles no wonder never got calls 🙄

Any tips for a first round phone screen interview with Goldman Sachs ? Position is Associate Digital Product Manager in their Transaction banking space

I’m currently a few interviews in for a position within industry where I would be working as an associate product manager. Before the last interview, they are asking I send over work related to recent projects (I.e. project plan and schedule, status reports I’ve created for clients, and a slide deck I’ve done for a client). I would obviously scrub any client data/names, but I guess I was wondering if this is a normal request? I feel a little uneasy sending it over even after scrubbing it.

Hello !! I am in the process of interviewing for a Product Manager position at PayPal - in their Global Pay Later team.
