Is it just me or have the number of openings for PMMs significantly reduced? I’ve definitely noticed it’s become much harder to land a new role lately, and I can’t help but wonder how much of that is due to the rise of AI. The competition feels fiercer than ever, and it seems like companies are prioritizing candidates with advanced data and AI skills. Have you been asked in an interview if you have AI expertise? From my experience, the growing use of AI tools is reducing the need for PMM openings. Thoughts??

I think it's AI a little bit, probably about 15%. The other 85% is just the economy right now. There's so much up in the air economically and a lot of people are holding onto jobs instead of jobs hopping like they used to. And employers are nervous about increasing their numbers in case of a downturn. It's kind of a perfect (crap) storm.

The job market in general is quite bad. It’s not just you, there just aren’t as many openings as there were a couple of years ago.

Personally, I don’t think AI has negatively impacted PMM roles (yet). I use it for research and some tasks, but I feel like it’s helping me more than reducing my work.

AI is definitely shifting things around but it's not eliminating roles. PMMs should use AI to help them with their tasks that AI can't do. They can use it as a tool to help with speed and efficiency. I do think you'll need AI knowledge if you want to stay competitive.

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
