I’m a novice Senior Product Manager who will be leaving their company soon. Any advice on which product roles to apply for and which companies are good companies have a supportive/learning environment? I’ve done everything from project management, scrum master and product work. I just want to find a company with a good culture

There’s far more applicants than jobs these days, so I don’t think you can be picky with where you apply.

Honestly, I've been looking to jump ship for 8 months now. Companies are posting jobs interviewing and ghosting. 2 months later same position appears back on the job boards.

I would secure a job first before leaving. Great culture and learning environments are almost all gone. Now it's most knowledgeable and experienced and only what they pay.

I second the previous comment.
To add on to it, stick to the domain/industry you have experience in.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:

- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
