These recruiting channels just aren’t broadcasted on their LinkedIn job posts

Lots of PMs out of college same way there are software engineers out of college.

PM is an individual contributor role at tech companies. Not management or leadership by default

Ehhh not management but product managers with work experience are so much better than new grad PMs.

They prob worked as a product intern while there, they prob also started as a Junior or Associate PM and then became a PM the following year.
