I’d like to pivot my career from Account Manager (4+y experience) to Product Manager. Unfortunately there’s no opportunity within my current company to make an internal move so I will have to go external. Do you know any company that would be open to hire PM with no direct experience but v willing to learn? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?

Interested in becoming a Google cloud product manager. Here are my observations on the experience you will need to be considered.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM
