I’ve been interviewing for weeks now for Senior product manager roles and even made it to the last round several times, but I can’t seem to land a role. Some of the feedback includes: not enough B2C experience, experience seems more like project mgmt or product marketing, too much leadership tasks and not enough collaboration. I’ve been a project manager, a system admin, a product manager and currently a senior product manager for a b2b saas product. Any tips on how to overcome challenges?

Tune your stories. A big part of it has to do with your stories. I got feedback that I sounded too junior for my experience and the roles that I was applying for and it boiled down to my stories and how I answered questions.

Found out that I’m getting paid $5k a year less than other new grad hires in the same department and level as me (was told that new grad hires would get paid the same regardless of role). New grads were also told that we cannot negotiate pay because women tend to negotiate less than men and they wanted to keep things fair. Then I learned that a male peer negotiated their starting bonus when I was told that I wasn’t allowed to. Feeling undervalued and don’t know what to do in this situation.

Hi I work in patient finance and I am desperately bored with my job. I have a bachelors which isn’t a requirement for my role.

I have followed up with some of the interviewers and they all told me I interview well. I am so tired of disappointment that I feel like giving up and just settling. I don’t know what to do.

What are some questions you would ask an interviewer for an upcoming sr product manager interview? I believe I am interviewing with someone who would be my boss and two individuals who would be my peers.

As a PM, I feel as though I should own and manage the product. But Senior Leadership often comes to me with “we’ve promised this to a client so you have to build it”. There’s often little to no discovery of the benefit of building something beyond “client excitement in a meeting”. How do you handle these types of issues, especially when it’s CEO, VP, and Directors owning the roadmap and you are the executer?

Applied for a role internally and feedback from 1st round interview was positive. However, I was told there’s strong external competition who have more experience in the field and likely to get the job. Hiring manager told me to consider a different open role in the team where I’d be a much better fit. The other role isn’t exactly what I was hoping for but could be a foot in the door. Has anyone had similar experiences? I don’t know whether to abandon this completely or remain persistent. Thx!
