Candid thoughts on the Ogilvy LA office?

See the George Floyd trial verdict will be announced in the next hour.

How are you counseling clients around this? Or, are you not counseling clients on this?

Curious to hear from the bowl.

Which is better career path among these two ?
1. Java And it's advanced technologies (Backend)
2. Java and Angular (Full stack)

Just signed my offer! Is there an internal bowl I can join?

Could you please share CGI benefits for lead analysts. Recently joined CGI.

Hi, Fishbowl! Just graduated with my MBA and finally looking to put my degree to work after helping run the family business a year after I received my bachelors. Looking for a remote position, preferably analyst role or associate analyst to get started, in tech or supply chain fields. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone been able to refinance student loans on F1 OPT / H1 visa? Would love to hear about your experience.

Anyone go from SaaS / licensing sales to services (strategy & implementation) sales?

I'm thinking of moving from large cap tech to large cap consultancy firm to help build the resume and round out my experience. I enjoy and do well in licensing, but I'm fairly young in my career (<6 years) and received a great offer to make the move.

Big fan of the org and team I'll be joining as well.

Thanks!!

Pivoting from five years of insurance defense litigation at a mid-size firm to family law in a small/boutique firm (3 partners and about 4 associates). What do you wish you knew when you first entered the field? Any advice is appreciated! So excited for this leap of faith into what I truly believe is my calling.

Hello After working in Barclays for five years as a digital developer i am looking an opportunity to move , i would like to work as a junior react developer, any jobs there please, thank you

Hey everyone,
I just moved to the Indianapolis area and was hoping you could help identify what the salary market was here. I have my BS in mechanical engineering, MS in engineering management, and an MBA. I have been working in the auto industry for 7 years. Ideally I would love to find a project manager or similar position at a larger size company. Thanks for the help.

Thoughts on Mother NY?

My company is actually pretty damn great to work for. So many love it, but our pay is low compared to the rest of the financial sector, and so when people with great experience come knocking, HR denies them because the ask is outside the price range. So mangy managers are pushing back but damn. Why shoot yourself in the foot like that?

I don't know if it's the same for the gay community, but we heterosexual women don't want to hear a man say, "I'm so wet."

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

How can I move from audit to a financial analyst role? Most recruiters say I should look for an accounting/finance hybrid role.

Anyone here a Product Mgr at Cisco? Would like to connect to discuss the hiring process, and get some pointers towards prep

How hands-on are you in scrum meetings?

Any one recently joined Indeed? Want to know if Indeed asked for a reliving/experience letter from the previous employer. I am joining Indeed in July. I am going through a rough patch with my current employer, ever since I put in my notice 🤦‍♂️ Its got to the point of them threatening to not provide a experience/reliving letter…
I can provide references and recommendations. Before leaving, I just want to ensure that I am equipping my successor to take care of my product and build it further…

Anyone use air table for PM? Looking for pros and cons. Thanks in advance!

For all the 🐠 that switched from consulting to product, which role provided you with more tangible skills? I know I’m making some broad strokes here, but thought it might open other discussions as well

Are there any good books to read from a start up perspective? I’ve reading the lean start up but would like some other recommendations

What is a Product Craft interview?
Tell me everything. How do I prepare for this?

Currently pursuing a MBA, and am deciding which focus areas to take.
I am trying to pivot from UX design to product in tech.
Ideal sector: FinTech
Current sector: Mobile Gaming
Related sectors: Entertainment, Edutainment, e-Commerce, Social

Aiming at head of product or head of design as long term goal.

If only 2 focuses, would you pick Business Analytics, Digital Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Strategic Innovation, or Global Challenges in Business?
Advice appreciated!

Hi! Anyone from Tesla or know of Tesla salary structure for Entry level Product Manager? Thanks!

Working in a start-up and love having an impact on the product. Things have been too chaotic tho. Thinking of recruiting for a big tech company but not sure if it's for me- anyone willing to chat?

How many hours are you all , on average, working in a day?

A colleague told me today that Google separates Product Manager and Product Owner as two separate roles. I believe that one PM role is preferred in the industry and most modern software companies, especially FAANG companies, only have PMs. Just curious what others have experienced and if I'm correct in my assumption.

How does this Amazon offer look for an L5 non-tech PM role in Seattle? I’m coming in with 2 YOE as a startup PM. No MBA.

$130K base, 20 RSUs, $45K sign on over 2 years ($25/20). 1st year TC $160K.

It was extended before the recent announcement that TCs are going up but I don’t know if I’d be impacted regardless.

I work with a junior PM who is not performing. Not my report, we share a mgr, but as a senior PM I lead the product. He can’t finish anything, needs a lot of coaching, I give him 2h/wk but I can’t afford more.
After 2mos I raised it to our mgr who promised to work with him. 2 more mos passed, mgr talked to him only once, no change in perf. I think mgr doesn’t want to deal with the problem. Now they ask if I want to manage JPM. It is going to be a ‘no’ but I want to ask some advice on all this.

Are there any product people who work for Slalom in this bowl? I’ve heard good things about how they handle work/life balance. Wondering if the hype is real?

anyone here with Salesforce and do product willing to chat?

I'm being asked to be involved in product pricing for the first time, and lack any knowledge or experience in that area. Any suggestions on courses or books or websites? I'm considering the Pragmatic Marketing pricing course, so would be interested to hear from anyone who has taken it.

I interviewed at Amazon for a PM role in Dec. 2020 and was ultimely rejected. I was told I have to wait a year to reapply. Fast forward to June 2022, another recruiter reaches out to me re: a PM role. I pass the screening interview, and move on to the virtual on site interview stage. I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange

As a first time PM at a company with no PM structure, I’m finding it difficult to learn good practices and bring myself to “the next level”. Has anyone here had a similar self taught start that made the break through to become a solid senior PM? Anything will help, books, etc.
