He was thinking of examples off the top of his head, so stories weren’t succinct and just dragged on forever. I got some low EQ vibes. Not only can he not discern when he’s losing his audience and pivot accordingly, but he also legitimately said he doesn’t fail & couldn’t find up with an example.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.

Looking for some advice.. Manager left, I was given their work. Promoted few months after, but not to the role of my previous manager. Rec opened, I applied, didn't get it.

I'm still not a product manager even tho my previous manager was and the new manager is. Applying to jobs and concerned my title is holding me back.
