Hey folks! We've just set up a new bowl specifically for hiring managers.

I noticed there weren't any dedicated spaces for hiring managers to discuss their challenges or problems with recruiting and interviewing candidates. So, I've created this new bowl where we can share insights and vent about our situations.

Feel free to join the discussion by clicking the invite link:

Any single lipstick lesbians here, what to chat 😉?

Do you ever get over an ex you loved?

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

I’ve never been pregnant but I can say that menopause cravings are REAL! Anyone else feel the urge to keep eating all the time?!?

Listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad and I keep expecting every story to end “and then everyone clapped” 🙄

Any idea why certain of the larger biglaw firms do not allow descriptive associate website bios unlike the more middle v100 firms?

At a happy hour and my boss just told me she wants me. Currently in an Uber going back to her place. AMA

Any book recommendations for soft skills at an agency/studio? For stuff like giving feedback, meetings, presentations, client interaction, etc.

Classic consulting/Deloitte fashion: I listed SQL on my resume as a skill, where I really just have basic familiarity with core concepts, but would struggle to be tested technically on it. Upcoming interview where I’m likely to be asked about it. What do you recommend?

I am 25 years old with roughly no savings. I am a consultant with a technical background. Are there any tips in side jobs/ways to make more money for savings?

Why did you decide to leave your first firm job? If you had a chance to jump ship but stayed, why did you stay?

Those in ID at regional firms: what are your billables and how do your bonuses work? I’m curious to see where ours are in comparison. 2,080 requirement.

When is Novartis calling people to office?

What’s a good amount of time to be at the senior planner level?

Any recommendations for companies to create personas? Are there new technologies to get interesting findings about concerns, aspirations, goals?

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.

Looking for product marketing roles in tech atm and having trouble finding them any recommendations for recruiters / websites?

I’m interviewing for a Manager role at PayPal in the product management department and wondering how much of a salary I should ask. I am a woman and POC so I don’t want to fall into the trap of asking for/getting paid less than I’m worth. All insights welcome!!

What should I pay a part time PMM at a Series A funded, Y Combinator-backed Fintech SaaS startup working 20 hours a week whose job it is to assist the CMO (me) with setting up and managing a product marketing function? This person will be the 7th hire, the second marketer, and will grow into a full time role (if they want it) as we scale. I myself just completed PMA's Product Marketing Core Cert, but I can't do it all myself and run Demand Gen and Mar Ops. Also HM experience should I require?

Best moves after becoming PMM? I've been in the role for 4-5 years now but looking to really challenge myself - I am not sure what the next leap would be other than moving into leadership or starting my own company. Thoughts?

We are thinking about getting Marketing Salesforce Cloud. I’m struggling to put a plan together that shows some thought leadership. I keep getting wrapped up in the tactics. Help!

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

Is anyone able to refer me to a company's product marketing position? I come from almost 6 years of advertising client/account management background and have been failing miserably in applying for PMM.. I have a legitimate certificate too!

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much. I’m currently interviewing with a couple of other companies that are amazing and would be my too choices. However, I’m very early in the process so it will probably take a month or so to get to the offer stage with them. I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?

Has anyone ever built a voice of the customer program? Want to hear about your experience: processes and tools put in place, stakeholders involved, how to socialize findings. Thanks!

I’m brand spanking new to the “official” business analyst role and have my first functional requirements workshop any tips on how to make this a success?

Super anxious, nervous and everything else that’s involved.

What does it mean when a company is hiring lots of marketers?

Product marketing managers that work in an established/growing tech companies, what’s your day to day at work like? I’m currently a PMM with an early stage startup wearing multiple hats. I’m curious to learn the difference between PMMs at early stage startups and growing/established companies.

Any advice for someone with 5YOE in strategy consulting with finance background wanting to switch into PMM? PMM role interests me, but since I don’t work in tech space currently, I’m wondering where to start or if I could even switch over without taking a more junior role/a pay cut

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

Need to relay to client that we are being delayed because of their request to utilize different tooling.
Anyone has boilerplate message they recommend?

Open ended question: come annual review time, what metrics are you/your team evaluated on?
