Very common pathway especially for those with <3 yoe, but no guarantee as many are trying to do it. Product tough to get right off bat for good companies as the competition is other product managers from less-good companies (but they are still pms).

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
