Hi everyone, I moved from India to USA (SF Bay area) last year & I have been looking for a Product Manager/ Product Owner job with a few interviews post which I am receiving a generic rejection email or I am getting ghosted. There are recruiters who themselves reach out to me & when I express interest in the role, they ghost me.
It's really frustrating. I have ~6 years of work experience in product management & development & have work visa. Would really appreciate any tips or job referrals.

I don’t have referrals but the job market here is really bad lately. You are competing against Americans with 2x the experience and even they are having a hard time in this market. Don’t give up and good luck.

Tough market, lots of product managers and middle level management getting laid off in Bay Area tech.

Recruiters are desperate and will submit you to any and every job posting out there, so I wouldn’t expect most of them to work out anyway. Ghosting you because they are mass submitting just hoping for something to stick.

Work visa is the issue. No one wants to sponsor on this climate when they can have a dozen more choices without the hassle.

Unfortunately ghosting is extremely common. At this point I assume I’m going to get ghosted by recruiters unless they want to move forward. It sucks but don’t take it personally, it happens to everyone. Are you focused on any specific industry?

I am open to all types of industries so as to maximize the num of jobs I can apply for.
