I’m a rising Senior at EY (2 years of experience) looking to move into product management but I don’t seem to get any interest from recruiters because of my consulting experience (mostly credit modeling development and validation in risk management space). Can someone please give some tips ? I’d like to move into product management at a tech company that offers a highly consumer focused product (eg. TripAdvisor, Opentable etc.)

“Rising Senior” lol

I would start by removing "rising senior" from your vocabulary. It sounds a bit pretentious, no offense.

This takes the cake. I love it.

You should highlight your analytics experience on your resume. Your ability to deal with complex datasets and being tech savvy (risk modeling using sas/R etc.) is an indicator of your capability to deal with complex scenarios. The type of product you should focus on as an entry point would be those build by fintechs where you'd stand the best chance to show your skillset

I just got multiple offers as a senior in the product manager role - I curated my cv very carefully to highlight product related functions of my current position, and leaned heavily on my technical background to sell myself. Do you have implementation experience?

Thanks that is really helpful

Do you see any overlap from your experience with product management?

Yeah not to sound painfully obvious but your resume needs to communicate that you have product experience in order for recruiters to respond. Id look to try and switch projects at EY or launch a product yourself

Keep in mind APM programs at FAANG or known tech firms is the MBB of the tech world and you are competing against CS undergrads from target schools and MBB/ buy-side looking to exit

I would push to hop to Program Manager at tech, APM at a small no name company, or at least Tier 2 consulting firm

Once you have either a stronger brand (at least Tier 2 consulting) or relevant experience (Program Manager, Product at a start up) you can shift into APM

Program Manger route sill probably be easier to reach product

Best of luck! Possible without b-school

I’m not looking to get into FAANG tbh (is N Netflix?). I want to work at a midsize tech company at the level of the examples I’ve listed. Would also be open to early stage start ups, but they are always hard to find. Given I have minimal product experience I would prefer to have oversight in my role.

get some side products released whether it’s an app or site or something

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office).

Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
