That's awesome. I'm looking to exit soon and I have product experience outside of DD yet the recent consulting experience in DD seems to throw recruiters off. I'm struggling most with structuring my resume - if you're open to it, would you mind discussing with me in a DM??

Hi sorry I can’t help but what did you use to prepare for your product interviews? Any tips on the types of questions normally asked?

Yes would agree that’s a valuable resource and read it in parallel to my interviewing. Also read “Decode and Conquer” on my end which has some overlap but goes through more examples which I found valuable.

Congrats! Haven't interviewed with them so can't help you there. Did you have prior product mgmt experience outside of DD? Did a referral help land an interview?

My background was primarily eCommerce functional and project management work within DD but I made sure to spin it to highlight the relevant aspects of my roles that aligned with PM responsibilities.

In terms of Referrals, I would say definitely for Amazon - I maybe applied for 80 different roles on my own and got a request to interview for only one. I went through a referral for 3 roles and I got an interview request for one of them fairly quickly.

At Apple, I’ve never had a referral and applied to a lot less roles (~20) and have actually interviewed with them for about 5 roles

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? 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.
