Published the blog post about Fishbowl

A few weeks ago, I had shared an early draft of this post that I was writing about Fishbowl. I took most of your feedback and incorporated it into this Medium post. (If you read the earlier draft, thanks a lot! There’s some new content as well, so you might still find this post useful 🙂)

One feedback I received was to go into more details about features. I started to do that, but it became a black hole 😀 Will post separately.

Thanks for your feedback!

I am an engineer, but want to get another degree in biology. But even though it's my passion I'm worried that I won't be able to get a job quickly, I have a loan to study and I'm too young to declare bankruptcy. Any hope?

Thoughts on the Genesis G70 or G80? 2022 models look great, but also considering a lease of 2021 / purchase 2-4 year old used model

For those who want to stop defending employers - and instead represent workers in wage & hour actions - there’s an interesting opportunity in the job postings.

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

I just had the SVP of Product during our company meeting, tell the whole organization that I'm taking on the complete replacement of a legacy application (I can't even impress upon you how herculean this would be). It's an app I'm intimately familiar with. There was no strategy provided explaining "why," it should be replaced and I was not told about this by said SVP or my boss, prior to the meeting. I'm beyond incensed and overwhelmed. What would you do?

First round with Facebook/Meta is scheduled for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Is that with one person or multiple? Is this typical for a Product Management interview? Thanks

Has anyone here interviewed for Accenture’s product analyst role? Have an interview coming up tm and would appreciate any last minute advice. I really don’t know what to expect but have been studying the cracking the pm interview book

What are some of the good questions to ask after a PM interview to a Sr. Dir of PM? Moving to higher role so looking for some advice on how to create best impressions. I generallask questions around vision of the product, major challanges faced by the team and 1-2 things about the product itself.

Anyone has suggestions on what processes to put in place to ensure good collaboration between cross-functional product team and drive great customer experience?

Any guidance on what total comp range is like for Senior PMs at Google?

Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go? Like if we say the range is 110-130K, they say they’re looking for 135K, you offer 135K and then they say they won’t take the job for less than 150? Not even with competing offers. It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.

A newbie trying to get into PM. Does earning a certificate from Product School or GA help? If so which program are worth investing, given they are all asking for $4k?

Anyone have advice on moving from a being a PM at a startup to a PM at a bigger organization? I’ve learned a lot at my position but am looking forward to trying something new. However, not having much luck with getting interviews. TIA!

I am a product manager with 2 years of direct product experience (non-faang) at my current company and previously 8+ years of experience in marketing. Any thoughts on the base salary I should be looking for?

Right now I’m unhappy in my role due to bad management. I work in NYC at a beauty/CPG company. I have an opportunity to move to a new role internally which I am trying to make happen just to get some sanity. I have 6 years total experience (4 + as an IT project manager/ business analyst and 2 on as a Tech Product lead) but am considering if I should consider finding a new job. Any advice or recommendations for positions? And what salary range should be like for similar roles?

How does this comp sounds for a Principal PM in EMEA?
$170k base + $230k equity (over 4y) at a post IPO (not FAANG)

I’m in final stages of interviews with Accenture for a PM role. I’m based in Chicago with over 5 years relevant experience and certified in agile. Before talking more, the recruiter gave a 105 salary cap, but averages online look more like 112-123. They seem very excited about me.

If I get the offer, should I go ahead and ask for higher? Any Accenture PMs have additional info on salary and/or salary band levels (or who just generally have tips)?

Thanks in advance!

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.

I would like to know opinions about certifications in the Product Management AIPMM vs the certificate programs offered by universities in the Product Management. For e.g.: Cost vs content vs relevance to industry trends etc.

I’ve got an on site interview at Google coming up. Any googlers open to a mock interview?
