Anyone have advice on moving from a being a PM at a startup to a PM at a bigger organization? I’ve learned a lot at my position but am looking forward to trying something new. However, not having much luck with getting interviews. TIA!

Okay tbh this is maybe weird but, start getting your name out there. Write articles, speak at conferences, advertise all of those on LinkedIn and social media and build up your hype and build out your network. This has a threefold value:

1. It makes other people aware of you without you needing to actively reaching out and making them aware.

2. It gives you clear things to point to during interviews that those hiring and recruiting can see to know that you’ve done what you say and did it well.

3. It helps you meet dope people in the industry who you can reach out to to build relationships and network for job opportunities rather than just applying online.

My dad always told me to never directly apply to listings online, always network first and that’s what I’d recommend to you. Whether it’s through the ways I laid out here or other ways that exist out there

9 YOE (6.5 in consulting, 2.5 in BU strategy and M&A). Involved in end-to-end process (incl. modeling) but processes largely led by Corporate M&A team. 3 tuck-ins completed (all in 2022).

Options considering:
1/ Continue current path, stack more deal experience, strong chance of Director promo in 3-6 months
2/ Don’t wait, just jump or apply to other roles
3/ Study and go back to grab MBA (considering MIT or Stanford MSX - 1 YR)

TC: 175K (…low)

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?
