I'm looking for advice/help breaking into product management at a tech company in the Seattle area. I have around 1 YOE working in corporate finance at Alaska Airlines, but I am looking to transition to a role that is more people centric and project based. I would love to connect with anyone who works in tech in the Seattle area and can provide any assistance or advice to a young profession.

Thanks!

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling?

I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.
