Hi All,

Moving out of IT consulting to Product Management side in the next couple of weeks.
The new company I will join is an e-commerce division of a leading food retail group.

Any suggestions about books/ videos that I can access to learn the basics of the product side?

Are any of the paid online marketing courses worth it or should I stick to blogs and books?

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Any recommendations on books/podcasts (and other sources) about CM? Not just to expand technical skills but also soft skills and external consulting?

Hi everyone! I’m a young CPA, relocating to Raleigh. I made the decision to transition into sales after realizing that I want to bring more fun into my career. I’m currently reading sales books, watching Keenan’s YouTube channel, and learning all I can. I’m relentlessly applying for SDR positions but I’m having trouble landing interviews (been applying through LinkedIn). I would appreciate advice from anyone who transitioned from another industry into sales. How did you break the barrier?

Does anyone have good books to read or people to follow on LinkedIn or Twitter who are well known in the B2B Marketing space? I might be transitioning to a new role in B2B from B2C and I want to make sure I’m selling the right skills I already have and learn quickly if I get this job.

I’ve been hired by a health benefits startup with only consulting experience. Any recommendations for books, blogs, or online course material to get myself as oriented as possible before starting in 2 weeks?

Question for for all those in Management Consulting.

How do I become better at strategic thinking ? What else can I be doing ?

Here's what I have been doing
1. Reading books - the usual ones that come up on Google search
2. Reading past annual reports/investor reports to see how strategy played out

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?

Hi Sharks,

I am a product owner and want to learn all aspects of product management and to transition as a product manager in leading Tech firms. I had completed my engineering and mba but never worked as a software engineer. I started my career in sales and am now working as a PO. So I lack technical knowledge as well. Can some experienced product manager guide me and PPL like me here on this fish bowl a step by step plan to achieve this goal. What courses we can join, what books to read

Hey folks, I’m about a year into my new SE career and looking to continue to invest in professional skills. I’ve obviously been thrown into the fire learning the sales side of things, but what areas (technical skills, certs, books, etc.) you all would recommend I look to invest in? I’ve been looking at some beginner coding boot camps and scrum product owner certs, but interested in what you all have done to further advance your career

I currently work in a hybrid sales/marketing role. However, I would love more experience in marketing specifically so I can move in to a marketing specific role. Does anyone have a suggestion of books or articles, podcasts, organizations to follow that will allow me to stay up to date on the latest trends but also help prepare for a marketing centric role? Thank you

What are some of y’all’s fave sales books or podcasts?

The GTM strategy at my company is not the best or strongest. Does anyone have any books, articles or suggestions on how to learn more about this topic? Marketing wise I feel like my team checks the boxes but every time we are getting for a launch it doesn’t hit the mark.

I met with a recruiter at Google today. She said that she has a couple workday opportunities that she’s looking to fill. The conversation went really well but I can’t help but think about what’s to come in the coming months/years in terms of job market - is it risky to jump ship to Google? Or is Google safer than being at a partner firm? Thoughts?

Toronto fishies, how’s NFA?

My manager is driving me nuts. He micromanages me everyday and I’m so tired of it. I’m expressed numerous times that I’m not okay with him doing it to just me. Every time we go into the office he tells me that he wants to sit by me to “monitor” me. He calls me out in meetings and monitors everything that I do. I’m great with my metrics and my job. I don’t understand it

Had an interview today and the interviewer asked “what’s been your biggest set back?” I kind of blanked out and said that moving to the remote method of working was challenging for me because I do well in person collaboration. I am worried this was not a good answer. Thoughts 😥

How do y’all handle kids who don’t want to celebrate or do projects about Halloween of día de los muertos because they are Christian? I’m an art teacher and I love doing seasonal projects like this. I tell them it’s not about celebrating but appreciating. I’m just curious how others approach it.

For the past few years I’ve been awful at maintaining relationships (personal and professional). Close friends are no longer close, and I feel distant from my family, oftentimes thinking they like my wife more than me. Idk why it is but the thought of interacting with people gives me anxiety now. I don’t feel confident, and I sometimes feel like I need to hide details of my life. Anyone have experience with this or advice?

Totally just went through this guy who’s supposed to be working with me on a project for the last 3 months not do any work, never hit deliverables, had to waste time chasing him down or updating. And today when it was finally presented, people included him in the list of those who did all the work and he acted like he did. I didn’t think this stuff actually happened but holy cow. Do I hope that people know what really happened? My senior strat does at least. Hopefully his boss.

I feel so special today. 10k hearts.

Would it be fine to directly email the hiring partner about a job opportunity in his/her practice that I am interested in? His email is public on the firm’s website plus this partner was a part time professor on one of my courses during my MBAa few years ago (Most likely he/she won’t remember me)
