Hi, I’ve been working in professional services and pre-sales so far but I’ve been planning to make a switch to product management. Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice?

I’ve gone through 4 years of consulting (tax/finance industries)+ 1 year of customer success at a tech company, and just recently made my shift to a pm role at a relatively large tech company.

Not sure how much help this would be but I did my best to highlight similar tasks/responsibilities I’ve done during my interviews. What I remember off top of my head are:
- creating roadmaps
- experience in project management
- implementing new features to a product while working with engineers
- compiling customer/ client feedbacks
- working with multiple cross functional teams
- prioritizing features/ conducting analyses

Its a tough battle but you have a chance. Good luck!

I’m actually based in Asia (Japan) as well! What a coincidence haha
But yes it’s a bit more difficult since US/Europe is way ahead/ more popular for product management, so you’ll have to definitely work for it.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
