Laid off by ZS, today
Hello! Is anyone working at Spotify or HubSpot within product/project management that would be willing to connect for a virtual coffee chat?
I’m a recent grad and currently working in tech/product development. I have been interested in growing my career at either of these companies and would be grateful to gain insight on day-to-day and steps you took to successfully break in.
I know this might be a big ask here, but it’s been difficult trying to land one on LinkedIn. Thanks in advance

You work at McK and you don’t find a job in outside industry? Dear lord, have mercy to the rest of us
Nope
Struggling to get interviews? Or struggling to convert interviews to job offers? I think the advice is different depending on in which case you find yourself
Both
So what does tech strategy mean exactly to you? There are very few companies that do proper tech strategy and they need to be really large firms. Better use your brand for plain business strategy roles
Well, way different from tech strategy if you know what tech strategy really entails (you work for McKinsey, so probably not). But to your question. If you are looking in places like G or F for strategy and operations roles you need connections to get interviews. In enterprise tech things are easier but probably not to your liking. A well established start up in an up and growing sector such as FinTech might be a start and help you position yourself better for other firms with other firms. I would also suggest looking at other roles such as Partners / alliances etc. these are true strategy functions at tech that typically fall under sales. Product strategy very interesting too. So don’t just look for internal strategy roles. Good luck
OP, why did they let you go? How long were you there for?
No one wants to staff you if you can’t make slides with the right graphic arts abilities. So it becomes a problem
I’m happy to refer to Salesforce DM me
Ask partners for introductions to clients you’re interested in or others in the industry. I’ve found that super helpful.
