I’m interested to know as well! And if you don’t mind me asking, what is your bg ? Is your current position PMM as well?
I’m in digital marketing and social media and would love to get into more of PMM role. TIA

- what your view is on the current market for their product (if you have experience in its field)
- how you would approach the first 30-90 days in the role, what would your goals be?
- how you will draw different stakeholders together to align them on whatever you need to do
- examples of “stuff you’ve made/done” so think of concrete examples beforehand. Campaigns, materials, content, road maps etc.

And I would also ask questions like what kind of teams you’d be working with, if you’ll have input on the product roadmap, what tools & support will be available for you or whether they’ll allow you to purchase/implement stuff

This is all good information! The more you can prove you're up to date on the market, can predict trends, and can put together a solid strategy, the better.

That's exciting! I would look at Glassdoor to get a sense of general questions asked to PMMs in interviews. They'll likely as about past results and initiatives for sure

Be ready to provide examples on your prioritisation skills

So, I've tried a few different positions and still hate practicing law BUT I was approached about a contract role that won't have billable hour requirements and I won't be steeped (I think) into the law firm's toxicity, so I'm wondering if it could be the closest thing to a 9 to 5 for law. Pay is hourly which seems weird, but I would have time to devote to hobbies and life generally. Has anyone been tempted by or accepted these contract opportunities, and what's your hot take?

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.
