Hi! I am trying to conduct some competitive analysis specifically on a set of metrics (e.g. latency) for the purpose of benchmarking.
The challenge here is that most of these metrics are not public, so I'm curious how others may have approached similar initiatives. I think some anecdotal data points can be gathered through the sales team but such data obviously comes with a tone of caveats on accuracy.

Anyone have some plus points for trade or sale ? 4 people traveling from lax to New York on red eye

Copywriters - do you find yourselves being pushed to communicate bullshit product selling points? Bombastic, unquantifiable benefits? Do you shrug and write or push back?

Fantasy points should be award if there PI

Hey everyone!
I’ve recently accepted a new position recruiting Pharmacists from all over the globe to come to Canada and work for our business units.
I’m looking to speak to literally anyone and everyone who is willing to chat and share information.
Your pain points, complaints, day to day life, experience with exams, certification etc.
Especially anyone who has immigrated to Canada to become a Pharmacy Tech, Pharmacy Assistant, Pharmacist etc.

LinkedIn is a biggest professional social network. But everything is not perfect. Curious to understand your pain points on this platform.

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

Leaving Deloitte...have Amex with about 500k points. I believe this card would be cancelled and I never really use it...any feedback on what to do with points?

Give me recommendations for your worst whiskey, hit me up with that garbage stuff, the kind of swamp water you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy!

(Planning ahead in case I need a spite gift for the holiday season. Extra points if the bottle is deceptively classy.)

Need advice - S.O. and currently I make ~200k a year, we own a small condo (investment property, debt free) and a 200k mortgage on the place we live in. We are family planning and interested in buying a house in the near future, say within 3 years. What would be the reasonable price range for this house if we have ~400k saved for down payment at the moment? TYIA!

Hi Everyone, I have an opportunity to join as a Product Owner/Business Analyst for a audit software company. All my experience has been in public accounting/audit.

I would really like to know the pros/cons, if anyone has made a similar move and what aee the career prospects after working as a Product Owner.

Thanks in Advance

I'm currently trying to exit audit but i am so lost as to where to go next. I initially thought TAS but the only up side of that is pay and it doesn't really make up for the hours. Advise anyone?

How does an internal consulting / strategy role at a pharma differ from what we do from the outside in?

Accepted an offer at Deloitte but got another offer and want to renege. Worked there before and got laid off. Would other company find out in a background check or anything like that?

Is it bootlicking to send a happy thanksgiving email to a partner? Context: met once, had good convo, I expressed that I would want to be staffed on said parter’s engagement

How the hell is it still Monday?

If you’re a PM and work for a startup with more than 20 PMs where the product has a web and mobile app, this question is for you. How are you guys managing feature parity development across apps?

How under paid am I? I am a Product owner located in Dallas with 1 year of experience as a BA and 1 year as a PO. Our team no longer has a scrum master so I cover all the responsibilities of a PO & SM. I often work 50-60 hours per week (covering releases and working on call). I make 65K.
I appreciate any feedback! Thanks in advance :)

So after a period of burnout, leaving and healing, i am ready to get back at things and i got two offers. Similar money (both pretty good) but one is a startup and the other a scaleup. Startup is 30 people, pre series A, lots of freedom to run the show, cool innovative product. Scaleup has interesting product, and id run one of the growth areas, some good people with interesting backgrounds too, series C. I come from corporate (public, +2000 people). Any thoughts for me? Thanks!

Are there any good books to read from a start up perspective? I’ve reading the lean start up but would like some other recommendations

What would be suggested for long-term growth? Doing growth-related data science at a private equity firm or a role as a monetization pm in a FANG-related company? What are possible growth areas after the job at a PE firm? I'm concerned that a career in PM would plateau.

Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go? Like if we say the range is 110-130K, they say they’re looking for 135K, you offer 135K and then they say they won’t take the job for less than 150? Not even with competing offers. It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.

What are some of the coolest startups to work in Silicon Valley right now, especially as a Product Manager?

I’ve got an on site interview at Google coming up. Any googlers open to a mock interview?

I need your thoughts! I’m a product manager working for small online therapy business that has been in industry for almost 20 years and make 75k! Just got promoted from APM to PM a month ago and was told to get a raise but nothing happened yet!
Last week just got an offer from a startup that was found in 2019 and have only 10 employees with their platform outsourced to a third party in an e-learning industry! The offer is 120k! What would you do? Would you accept it?

I have applied to several positions in the US but I have received a negative for all of them. I am pretty sure that is not because of my CV but my need for sponsorship. Is that happening with someone else? How to deal with it?

What to say when a project manager thinks that they alongside stakeholders should determine the priority of your roadmap and backlog? 🤯

Imagine you received an offer for a PM role (non-FAANG) what are some questions you'd ask the hiring manager about the job or company?
Reason for asking this is because I see a lot of PM jobs might not be exactly align with what PMs should do. Any thoughts on this ?

Looking to formalize my training in Product management . 5 YEO, currently in consulting, CS background, transitioned from dev to two years in Business analysis/ Architect roles. Last year in Product management role with client.
I’m truly enjoying this and would like to focus in the Product area but not sure what formal trainings /certificates make the most sense with the best ROI down the line. Considered Product school and some Kellogg PM certificates. A top product company is the goal for me.

I will be interviewing with Google for Healthcare products. Please share interview tips with Google, this is the first time I will be interviewing with one of the FAANG companies. Thank you

Just finished “Hooked”, what’s another good read in product/tech genre? Something educational preferably, I have Dance w Dragons to finish for pure entertainment.

Any guidance on what total comp range is like for Senior PMs at Google?
