MBA student who just got a PM internship offer at Capital One. End goal post-grad is big tech PM. How “respected” is Cap1 in this regard? The internship pay is *great*, but is it a real product culture? I’m debating series C/D startups instead.

I think it’s better than most. I also think big Tech PM is overrated. If your goal is strictly about making money, I would just stay at capital one and see how fast you can move up

Cap1 is big in Finance space, meh in FinTech. but in terms of PM it depends what kind of PM you’re most interested in. Product, do you think they’re really on the cutting edge of AI and development of their app and website? Not really. Program Management? Maybe solid processes, and it’s an established company. You’d probably learn how to run already-scaled cycles, so not huge on fast-paced innovation IMO. Project, pretty straightforward anywhere if you can get on a good team. Cap1 is probably quite bureaucratic. If you’re looking to settle down, sure. If you’re looking to kick off your career mellow, sure. If you’re looking to grind and learn what it takes to build something from nothing, go to a startup you believe in. You’re also less likely to get stuck in the corporate climb at a startup, and shorter tenure is normal.

I have a promising interview at a relatively large law firm in my area (+100 attorneys) next week. The position is for a transactional role in their real estate practice group, and they are seeking someone with at least 2 YOE. I have a bit over 7 YOE with a strong real estate/commercial lit. background. Over the past two years in my current position, I've been doing a lot more transactional work. The split is around 50% transactional and 50% lit.

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this?

Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

We have a lot to say and none of the PMs approves the way he operates.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?
