Really want to work at Google as a PM. Experience in Tech Strategy consulting and product management for a cloud infrastructure company. What else do I need to be a good fit and get this role? I'm good with clients, presentations, organizing, planning, keeping roadmaps on time and on target and managing people. I'm not super duper technically but as an ex- developer I can understand what needs to be done. My insecurities are keeping me from applying.

IMO, just apply (with a referral). Truth be told the hiring rate is extremely low but you’ll get an understanding of the process, however far you get.

One thing Google likes is Googliness, which is people who encompass the Google values. Think of how to highlight and exemplify those.

I didn’t think I was going to be hired based on years of experience and imposter syndrome... but I was on my first application. You never know.

Thanks! Will do!

From a technical perspective, what else do I need? Any certifications or specific must have skillsets?
For my current role I'm taking courses on AWS, GCP and Azure.
Not sure if this is ideally where I want to spend my life's work though as infrastructure isn't as sexy and exciting as say something more ground breaking. Ideally I think I'd love to work for Moonshot or X and really be at the forefront of innovative, but I guess that is possible even on the infrastructure side.
I've interviewed till the final round twice for other roles at Google previously but never PM.

The Google PM job role postings read quite generic online. I was thinking something at Google Cloud Platform might be the best fit right now given my work experience.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear.

If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
