There are quite a few articles on this floating online so I won’t tackle it directly, but thought I’d share how many actual PM alums were out there according to LinkedIn:

“product manager”
Current Company - Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Uber, Spotify, Lyft, Airbnb, Twitter

School:

GSB 1000
Wharton - 554
HBS - 418

Kellogg - 581
Booth - 363
Sloan - 339
CBS - 241

Haas - 570
Tuck - 123
Yale SOM - 124

Ross - 435
Fuqua - 245
Stern - 237
Darden - 142

Anderson - 268
Tepper - 209
McCombs - 194
Johnson - 123
KF - 101
Goizueta - 71

Imperfect, but should be directionally correct. For what it’s worth, I’m looking to move into Big Tech from another geography and I’m only trying for HSW, Kellogg, Haas, & Ross.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

Hello all! I’m currently in the last year of my MBA looking for a Pt role related to sustainability, renewable energy, ESG, and clean tech. I have over 5 years of managerial experience and have worked in construction, consulting, non profits, and start ups. Let’s connect!

Currently job hunting. I know a few retired C-level executives who tell me that they would hire me at the director level in pretty much any role (despite currently being an individual contributor) because I'm extremely driven, a life-long learner, a natural leader, and deeply educated in diverse fields (PhD in engineering and MBA in analytics). However, I can't seem to land a senior role. How do I convince an executive to take a gamble on me based on my past success and strong future potential?
