Currently an innovation and strategy consultant at a boutique firm specializing in new product/service development. I have experience building products, websites, apps, etc. and I’m very passionate about the tech/startup space.

I am tired of coaching client teams on what products to build and how they should build them. I want to manage a product end to end and actually feel a sense of ownership.

Any recommendations on how to transition into PM? Courses? Etc?

How is the market right now?

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

Hello Fishes, I have started my role of an Internal communications executive after 12 years of sabbatical, due to marital and parenting period.

Need advice—torn btwn Booth and Sloan.

Already work in mgmt. consulting but looking to do either consulting or ibanking post-MBA (have only been at company for 1 year so not sponsored and may or may not return to my company).

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Hey y’all! Former consultant who is getting off a <1 year career break due to health. Has anyone pivoted to Product marketing from consulting?

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

Best ways to improve leadership skills? Trying to build up the skill set for a PM role and I have next to no manager/leadership experience. What are the do's and don'ts of leading a product team, (or any team) and the traits you'd most want to see or have as a leader?

Does anyone recommend doing any courses or degrees on product management? I am a functional consultant and I don’t have experience in PM. However I know I don’t want to stay in consulting in the long run given the long hours, and how sales play a big role
Anyone who switched to Product management please recommend some good resources, pros and cons. TIA 🙏

Would you consider hello fresh as a tech company? Trying to break into tech and wondering if a position at hello fresh can get me there if it’s more of a product role?

I have been in Product Management even before the term Product Management was so prevalent. I have initiated ideas for new products to align with company strategy and goals, designed and managed the development of the products, and enabled delivery of product to the market. Since most of these are B2B products, delivery would include a phased-production rollout to those customers, based on their roles, locations etc. I have developed both software and data products in the healthcare and social
