Read the book 'Talk Less, Say More." It really helped me a lot in this area.

Practice is important. Having a manager who will help critique you in a trusting environment if you can, for day to day stuff. I know many people don’t have that relationship, though.
I always review past recorded presentations. It’s amazing how differently I come across than how I feel in my head. And things that you’ll notice that you repeat a lot that you didn’t think you did.

HBR's book on business writing really helped with my communication (written & spoken)

Definitely practice as much as possible but also have confidence in yourself. I've found that more than half the battle to being able to communicate well is actually confidence.

Late reply. But it’s tough. Don’t beat yourself up over it, because I believe we are all working on that aspect. Me too!

Start with google and YouTube. Listen to some tedtalks and read some books on how to communicate.

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Hi All,

I’m filling out my background check for my Deloitte offer. Is the professional career start date the date I started my job after college or literally the date I had my first job (if it’s in the 25 years Deloitte asks about)?

My security clearance asks for 10 years but nothing before 18, and it seems weird if Deloitte wants to know high school jobs.

Any help would be appreciated!
