Hi sorry if this is extra but if I’m applying to Amazon should I take PowerPoint off my resume since they banned it there? I’m a senior in college and have it on there from my internship this past summer.

Yes you should.

Not because it’s Amazon particularly, but because it’s a basic skill.

No. In fact, the irony is that if you interview for a sales or consulting role, they often make you present a deck during the interview.

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?
