Hello all! Has anyone completed the Professional Certificate in Product Management program with Kellogg Northwestern?

I’m currently a technical project manager looking to pivot into Product Management. I’m wondering - is this investment worth it? Interested to hear your thoughts.

For context, I graduated in December 2021 with a business degree and have 1-1/2 professional experience in tech/marketing/project management.

Thanks in advance!

What’s a natural entry/transition-out role at FAANG for a strategy & ops consultant with 7 yoe (no prior tech experience)?

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

How does being a manager in audit compare to being a manager in deal advisory (AAS)? Nervous to make the switch of the unknown.

Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!

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.

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 here from NatWest group Bangalore ? Need some advice before joining. Please let me know in comments so that I can DM you.

I strongly believe new hire onboarding should not sit in the HR/People Operations space but should sit in the HR Coordinator/HR Generalist space. As a new hire, they should be able to have a confirmed point of contact especially during their first 90 days and People Ops should not be that point of contact unless there’s system or access issues.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
