How far ahead of the game do you think all of these Product Management gurus really are? I’ve read so much and sat through so many trainings over the last 4 years, but every new idea I generate gets a no. I really feel like I am in a seriously old-school backwater that is going to make it difficult to get a Product Management position at another company. But maybe most of them are backwaters?

Product management, like project management, has tools and processes, but the primary value proposition is herding the cats. Certifications, degrees, reputation all have their place, but at the end of the day, your main role is keeping people organized and helping people get out of the rabbit holes they are stuck in trying to solve complex problems.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?

Given this and markets I was hoping for ~50L (considering 30+8)? Any suggestions. Also they are in an urgent requirement for the role to be filled. I need suggestions on this number. Thanks in advance

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
