Hey all! Heading into my 4th interview at a global SaaS company this week. I have a year of product marketing experience at a startup (I'm owning all PM efforts for a massive product), and the role I applied for asked for 3-5 years of experience.

Any tips on how I can prep for these interviews? They're with a few Sr. Product Marketing Managers on the team. I've already done an HR screening, call with the hiring manager, and deeper dive with another Sr. PMM.

Any advice is appreciated!

As an interviewer, Couple of things we always look for:
Do you have a good grasp of marketing concepts (branding, positioning, messaging, target audience, tactics vs strategy, etc)
Communication! Can you present and articulate your thoughts and strategy clearly and more importantly succinctly to teammates and leadership.
Your “work values”: can you/do you like to collaborate, can you solve problems — not just identify them, can you be a team player and execute while also have the ability to take charge and lead when things get stuck.

If you’re able to highlight those things in your resume and throughout the interview process, I feel like you should be in a good position

Thanks so much! That role didn’t pan out, but I did make it to the very final interview (I didn’t have ~all~ the experience they were looking for, which is my guess as to why they went with another candidate). Still, this is great info and will take it with me to my next interviews!

I applied for a position at a creative agency via LinkedIn. I'm not excited about agency work but job hunting hasn't been going well and I applied anyway. They reached out and would like to interview. But when I went to look over the job details again, I found their listing on ZipCruiter gives a pay range, which at their high end is $20k less than my minimum salary reqs. Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?

So to give some background, I currently have about 6-7 YOE in the BA/PM space, and my current position is 100k, with 10k annual bonus. The position I hold is as a Senior Business Analyst at the company I'm currently at.

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.

Hey fishes,

I have a question. Currently I'm working in Mindtree as a Infrastructure Engineer and basically there is nothing much technical in it.

I am very much interested in cloud and Devops and currently started learning about it as well.

I just wanted to know, how much tough it would be for me to switch from a support role to Devops role? (I am having 14 months of experience)
