I am considering a Technical Product Manager role. I possess 10 years of subject matter expertise; however, I have limited experience in one or two technical areas from previous roles. I am confident in my ability to quickly acquire new knowledge. Any recommendations on how I can effectively position myself to demonstrate a strong fit for this opportunity?

It will be very difficult to get product roles in tech company from a consulting background. Unless you managed products internally. It’s not a pivot. SME is not a product manager.

You should target non tech companies, you may have a much better shot there.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
