Solid companies in the EU that hire entry level product managers from an MBA? I have a finance background in a tech start up, and I’m polishing my Python and SQL skills. Visited a few tech companies in Amsterdam (Booking.com, TomTom, etc) and I was wondering if there are any well known opportunities or programs.
Are you a diverse person? Are you an ally to DEI?

How often do you change jobs?

Rapport!
First off. Stop trying to nail higher ups. That rarely goes well.
Rapport*
Just find a common ground and start there...
Crush the work and the partners will develop rapport with you and you won’t have to do anything.
I agree with K1. I was super awkward when I first started. I was completely out of my comfort zone, but slowly over time, I found small things that we had in common and would have micro conversations around those things. Eventually, people wanted to have coffee and chat for longer periods of time/ hang out outside of work. Hang in there!
Agree with D1
Hey listen, I used to feel that way as well and I still do occasionally. Like D1 said, stellar work and work ethic will shine through in the long run, but also start by networking with your peers to gain the confidence you need for discussions with high ups.
Today, I make it a point to network with my peers, my seniors, and just as importantly, with my juniors :)
