I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Looking for thoughts on Wordpress chatbot plugins. Looking for a sort of basic chatbot that pops open when you visit our website and will prompt a conversation. We have a small team so something that is engaging and can direct to sales when questions become more complicated. Thoughts? TYIA

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

Best moves after becoming PMM? I've been in the role for 4-5 years now but looking to really challenge myself - I am not sure what the next leap would be other than moving into leadership or starting my own company. Thoughts?

Who does the Director of Product Marketing typically report to (besides the CEO in tiny startups) ? VP of Marketing? I can't imagine it would be housed under Product/Engineering...

What are some things you do daily or weekly to improve as a product marketer? I’m looking for examples of how you use your personal time to improve as well as what you do at work.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

Looking for an entry level product analyst/marketing role in ny. I’m doing marketing right now but barely getting any strategizing work.

Started a new PMM role this week and my manager, a VP, has no bandwidth to onboard me to anything. Has anyone been in the same boat, and if so, how did you go about onboarding yourself to a new product/portfolio?

any insight into how a pmm skillset is different from a brand strategist one? of course the pmm applies insights to and influences the product, but it seems like a lot of the core elements - research, understanding the user, generating insights, developing messaging and angles to speak to them, etc are super similar. interested in transitioning and I want to understand where my gaps are!

Any advice for someone with 5YOE in strategy consulting with finance background wanting to switch into PMM? PMM role interests me, but since I don’t work in tech space currently, I’m wondering where to start or if I could even switch over without taking a more junior role/a pay cut

Open ended question: come annual review time, what metrics are you/your team evaluated on?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

I have my first interview for a PMM role coming up on Tuesday at a tech startup. Would love some insight into a typical interview. What questions can I expect?

I’m brand spanking new to the “official” business analyst role and have my first functional requirements workshop any tips on how to make this a success?

Super anxious, nervous and everything else that’s involved.
