Does anybody have any resources or materials that help with PSPO I exam?

Product switch to Engineering?
Hi, I’ve been a PM for 3 years (2 years SaaS ad tech, 1 year DTC e-commerce) and have an PM offer from an excitingstartup. I have 8 YOE and an MBA from a Top 15 business school. My background before Product was analytics and I still write SQL/build visualization. In the Bay Area, approaching 34, and have a baby daughter. keep wondering if attending a FT coding boot camp to get into engineering is a good move. I’m looking for a true work from anywhere, flexibility,

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?

Which would you rather? Internal at MBB or client-facing at Big 4/ACN?

Laid off at PwC. It was more of a relief than anything. Anyone have any knowledge on openings at smaller (but not necessarily boutique) firms? Human Capital / Change Management related field.

After getting released from my project I joined new project desperately. In interview client as well as D project manager mentioned all the technologies I have previously worked on will be there.
But now after getting whole project idea I think they have lied to me and this is very old legacy system support project.
How should I ask for release without impacting my career.

Exiting to a boutique for a promo/more comp/WLB? Good idea?

Projects will be focused, long term comp is still great but obv much lower than MBB.

Any thoughts?

Has anyone successfully been able to pivot to careers without stepping back after 10+ yrs of implementation work? I’d love you hear your journey and how you went about doing so.

Do you see SAP as a stable career in the next 30-40 years?

Hi fishes, I got new offer from cognizant. How much average (min:max)appraisal sr associate gets? I would like to know the growth in CTS.

Hi ME 🐠s! Would like to know a bit regarding Business Analyst roles in MBB, T2 / B4 firms in UAE. I come from a target school in India (say MBB / T2 hires from my college every year) with ~1 YOE in consulting - based in Dubai. Would the stated firms consider me for a BA role (lateral hire as an experienced BA)?

What big moves/life changes are you guys making in 2020?

Has anytime pivoted from a full time role to freelance and proposed to their current employer to take you on as your first contract?

Eg currently work at Droga full time, talk to boss that really want to switch to freelance, would love to stay on @ Droga for x amount of time

What did that look like?

I have a month of PTO coming and currently live in a part of CA where most things are closed. What do you suggest to do in my free time? I’ll be using a lot of it to study for my CPA exams but realistically ill still have a good few hours of free time left everyday everyday.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

Any good gift ideas for summer interns heading back to school? Would prefer something more meaningful (advertising/writing-related) vs. the gift card route. Thanks!!

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!

How many of you got in without ad school? How did it happen?

Why is this bowl so silent??

When will it end?

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...

I hate people who review work papers and leave review comments in the form of questions when they already know the answer, but want you to figure it out yourself. Thank you for the self-discovery jerk

My HR rep told me that to apply for your CPA license in MA you only need 1 year of work experience, not 2009 billable hours. Didn't sound right- can anyone confirm/deny?

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a tech litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.

Anyone know Salary for B4 consultant in London?

Has anyone been successful negotiating a “breach notification costs” provision in contracts with vendors? What are some good args to include it? I feel like vendors generally flat out say “no”, but I have seen some contracts where vendors were willing to include it and I’m wondering how that happened 😁

Consulting Baby Shower question - what was the best baby shower gift you ever received?

This winter just doesn’t freaking end. This is absolutely ridiculous. 🙄

Hello!
I’ve been working as a RPA developer for 4 years. I joined a program that trained me in this role as a opportunity to start a career when my initial plan fell through. I’ve don’t pretty good so far…given multiple roles, pay increases etc. Honestly I don’t enjoy my job anymore and would like to make a change. I want to transition to a tech Product Owner/Manager role. Any advice on how to transition ?

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?

Thanks a ton for creating this group. I am personally embarking on a 2 year roadmap plan to exit out of mgmt. consulting and pivot to product management.

What do the exit ops from Capital One BA roles look like? Especially wrt PM roles in big tech.

Looking to get into PM. Where do I start ? Is my first step the cert ?

I have an interview for a sr assoc PM role at Cap1. What are some things I should expect and how should I prepare?

I'm going to have a final interview with the Director of Product in a startup for an Associate Product Manager role, what do you guys think are the questions that they will be asking me?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for creating this bowl! I’m very new to the PM role as I’m trying to transition from management consulting. Just finished all rounds of interviews at Google yesterday for a PM role and not feeling very confident. Hopefully I hear something back in a week or so.

Hi all! I have a data science/financial modelling background and looking to get into PM. Trying to map out a path as I don’t have much product experience. Would it make sense to transition into a product analytics data science role first and then to PM?

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

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 🙏

If your engineering manager tells you that his team cannot pick up an item from your roadmap because of a lack of capacity or required skill set (different language) what should you as a product manager do?

UK Only please.

Digital Consultant to Tech Company (e.g. FAANG PM, Palantir Deployment, Databricks Solution Architect). What would you use to determine your total comp package?

At the moment, I just take the average TC i'd expect over the next 3 years at my consulting firm (EM levels)

Thanks for creating this Bowl. Anyone here transitioned from cost engineering into PM? I’m working a internal consulting type of cost engineer role and is seems like a good position to gain skills in that could apply to becoming a PM in the future. I have also worked in design engineering and engineering analysis roles. Have a BS in mechanical engineering and a MS in Data Analytics Engineering.

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?

What technical skills are a necessity for product managers?
