4 months. I used my alumni network to get recommendations/referrals. Most of the interviews I had came as a result of networking.

A former colleague referred me. The whole process from submitting my application to offer took about a month.

This is good to hear! I’m interested in making a move from my current role … but the horror stories of others brings hesitation to do so.

I left my previous job with no offer at hand in January and spent 2 months thereafter to land my current role, no referral nor networking towards it.

This is good to hear! I’m interested in making a move from my current role … but the horror stories of others brings hesitation to do so.

I’m currently in the job search market and have two second round interviews lined up thankfully I’ve had the help of my network to help in the search. It’s definitely ALOT different now than it was several years ago and I definitely feel like having a referral into a company is extremely helpful in getting the initial meeting.

ETA use your LinkedIn network. Don’t hesitate to reach out to connections (acquaintances) you may know at the company you are applying for and ask them if they wouldn’t mind referring you for the position.

It's been 3 months of searching for a new position for me. I'm hopeful something will come along soon. Lots of recruiter contacts and screenings a several interviews, but nothing yet with more than 10 years experience under my belt.

I was just let go of my position yesterday! I was doing a temp assignment for this awesome recruiting agency I have been working for. The temp assignment was for a Tax software company, it ended sooner than I thought it was. They over hired and their product was getting too expensive for the customers.

I am now actively job searching for a customer facing role in the tech industry.


I am still

Good luck!

I have been working/talking with recruiters for roles regularly. Landed a great contract role and the process was less than a month (after 2 years of slow chatting folks).

Just found out that the company I’m at is no longer using my current contracting firm. So, I’m starting at square one.

Oh no! Best of luck 🤞

A recruiter scouted me via LinkedIn and got me the interview

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?
