Hello, newbie here
Anyone know how to get added to the Tech bowl?
Hello! Is anyone working at Spotify or HubSpot within product/project management that would be willing to connect for a virtual coffee chat?
I’m a recent grad and currently working in tech/product development. I have been interested in growing my career at either of these companies and would be grateful to gain insight on day-to-day and steps you took to successfully break in.
I know this might be a big ask here, but it’s been difficult trying to land one on LinkedIn. Thanks in advance
Which is a better product role to exit to tech industry + for career progression? I will move to Austin, TX end of this year where I want to join a tech company (in product analytics, payments, ecommerce)
1. Product Owner at Morningstar (product configuration for new companies + occasional new feature to the product. Product: investment data analytics for B2B)
2. Senior Product Manager at a boutique consulting firm (product: payments, ecommerce)
Background: 6 yrs as PM at boutique consulting

Highly dependent on the company of course, but I’d say it mostly has to do with the level of accountability and responsibility. The reality is most tech companies don’t actually have the associate level in a meaningful way, so for the companies that do, you’re just generally less experienced and less is expected of you.
I’d expect an associate to handle more day to day type work, like writing stories and actively managing the backlog. Handling scrum master type responsibilities. But since most companies don’t have this level, the PM in general handles it. At least at a lot of companies.
Depending on org and broadly speaking:
PM = roadmap and strategy
APM = delivery and execution
Associates typically have same responsibilities as a product owner role.
But in companies where PMs are more hands on, PM = larger initiatives, APM = smaller features
