Recently I've been trying to get into PM but have been failing at getting interviews. Google just reached out for a PgM role. It's not product tho so I'm hesitant. What do yall think? Also is it possible to internally transition to PM at google after a while?

Bro - the days of consultants landing top tier PM jobs went away in 2016. Go for PgM - move internally

As loads of people are saying I raise you this as well, go to Google aaaaaaannnndddd now you can go wherever you want, transfer internal of course but go work big tech somewhere else too, good luck!

It’s as feasible as you make it. At my current role, I have wanted to get more exposure to architecture decisions, so I reached out to architecture and they have let me start working on smaller issues in their backlog.

Do good work, ask to be included, jump on small opportunities, and network.

It is incredibly difficult to move internally to Product Management at Google and FB. You’ll likely have better luck landing external PM roles at smaller tech companies after a year as a PgM at Google.

Thanks A1. I kinda feared this was the case. However, I still have doubts I'd be able to go into PM somewhere else after being PgM at google. Bc nobody likes to hire ppl into PM roles that weren't PMs at their previous company lol

I completed my first round interview with wipro. I belive I didn't perform well at interview and left interview in middle as my manager in current company ringing phone constantly . But suprisingly after a week I got call from recruiter stating 1st interview is cleared and there is a HR round without any L2 round. And HR round was also done package was decided and recruiter sent some links for bgv and said offer gonna be released in next week. Is this a clean process or should I suspect?

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
