In interviewing for new roles I feel like my weak point is a lack of case studies that show data driven iteration. The problem is, despite me preaching and coaching to product managers and product directors about setting outcomes, success metrics, a/b testing, etc our product teams don’t work that way. Most of the time the response is a chuckle and a “At [this company]? What are we, a tech company?”

Anyway, this is mostly a rant but if you have any nuggets of wisdom, drop them below

To get some clarity - are the new roles you're applying for data driven? Is that the kind of work you are already doing or you want to do more of? If the roles you're interviewing for are data-heavy and you don't have that in your portfolio, then you're doing yourself a disservice.

I'd suggest you look at your portfolio/case studies and reassess the kind of work you actually have and can "sell" yourself with.

Keynote — okay that's fine. I hope the background colors of those slides aren't as colorful as the Behance version.. (aka I hope the Behance presentations aren't just dropped into keynote and ya call it a day)

But.. the bg colors might be a subjective tip.

I'll come back with more objective feedback when I get through your case studies. If you want to share your keynote, send it through DM (or here, whichever you prefer) and I can take a look at the structure for that too.

I think we can only send links though

Hi Fishes,

How easy/difficult it is to change base location in SAP. I interviewed for a position where I have given preferred location as gurgaon but I was offered a position in Bangalore . It's a good role and i have really less experience so I didn't want to let go of the opportunity. I want to know how easy will it be to change location to Gurgaon as my husband and inlaws are really unhappy with the decision and might force me to lose this opportunity.
Any tips will be much appreciated.
