I’m a buyside trader on a portfolio manager track but wanted to explore my options in London (currently based in NYC). Wanted to get thoughts on how to network/find opportunities in finance in London. My downside is that I’m focused in US credit but willing to take more a strategy and/or sales like role if I move. How can I make the move without taking a huge step back? Does anyone know any shops willing to hire expats? Appreciate any feedback

How do potential employers look at a 4-6 month career break? Been at current job for less than a year and is mentally draining. I want to re-evaluate my career

How do you recruit for startups? Exhausted from lack of responses from cold networking. What else should I do? I am aiming for roles in early stage startups. Didn’t study or work for long in US so don’t have a strong network.

About to start my first PM job! Any tips to be prepared and ramp up quickly? Books to read, courses to take, etc.. any tips are appreciated! Currently in ops consulting. No tech background.

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.

Any product managers who wouldn’t mind me DM’ing to ask a few questions? Currently a tech consultant looking to leave consulting and considering PM

Graduated in 2020, wanted to be a graphic designer, took a job at a startup in a social media role. The boss called me the "r" word for not handling entire 13-ish accounts roster well by myself. I quit. Found a role as social media specialist. Realized (again) that I hate social media. Moved to in-house mktg manager, only to be a glorified graphic designer / someone to call the city to cut down trees. I job hopped too much, I feel my portfolio is empty. How do I restart again? I feel defeated.

I’d love to work in a Blockchain related project in the future and just have a fundamental idea of it. What would you guys recommend? Any MOOC or certification in particular

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles.
