Don’t try to do product at KPMG. But LinkedIn Learning will be a great start to learn about product management

The goal is to ultimately end up in a role where I develop consumer healthcare products throughout the product lifecycle. I want to understand the skills and certifications I can develop to align with said goals

I’m taking the “Become a Product Management | Learn the Skills & Get the Job” course from Udemy. It’s very helpful and I’m enjoying the course but I don’t know yet if it’ll increase my chances of breaking into PM.

This list is not exhaustive but this is from personal experience or shared experience from one of my team members. Ranked from more fundamental to advanced:

Udemy/Linkedin (fundamentals)

PMHQ courses (fundamentals - one week PM and Tech PM - I'd start here as both are less expensive but rich with transferable content and at your own pace)

Product School (fundamentals - pretty expensive for the level of quality but still check it out - live training)

Udacity Product Manager nanodegree (advanced fundamentals, formal training, real-world application, some live courses)

AIPMM / 280 Group (very advanced fundamentals, training and certificate program for digital PMs with self-paced and live training)

Product Faculty (more advanced but don't know much about them - maybe for later)

OneMonthPM (advanced across all PM dimensions - maybe for later)

Reforge (very advanced across all PM dimensions - maybe for later)

Good advice!

There was a free beginners Google course I heard some friends took and said it worked for them. Also definitely let your recruiters know about your background to set you apart from other applicants.

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.

After orientation till my training starts, what I will be assigned in ey gds?

Would you ever accept a ground-floor bedroom facing the street (but set back from the pavement) in London? Residential, upscale zone 2 neighbourhood (think Victoria Park Village, East Dulwich, Fulham), but like everywhere in London, there are some rougher bits nearby. I sleep with the window open for fresh air, so I’m concerned about burglary and assault (I’m a woman). There’s the option of using an internal bedroom instead, but it’s not nearly as nice as the street-facing one.
