Did the same thing and people understand. If you know it’s not the right fit, just be honest about making a wrong turn and why you think you want to go back to smaller companies.

For those struggling with depression, what were some early symptoms you had? I’m having a hard time determining if I’m in a rut or am dealing with early signs of depression. I’ve lost interest in many things, feel as though I’m just here living each day the same as the last, no motivation, low libido, doomed outlook on the future, but not necessarily sad.

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K). Was making ~3K/week on average in my previous role which was commission only, no base. Feel like I am completely wasting my time and potential. Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?

I am so conflicted and not sure what to do. A company I wanted to work for was not ready for hire when I first reached out in Sept. Since then I have accepted a job at a outpatient oncology clinic, starting in Jan at a renowned hosp. Having said that the other company does more of what I was hoping to do when I left my previous job. The company is a vessel for new ideas in healthcare helping their community specifically with seed funding, & launching their own programs. I have no idea what to do

Hi! I am trying to conduct some competitive analysis specifically on a set of metrics (e.g. latency) for the purpose of benchmarking.

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?

Stop looking at title in PM roles, and look at scope. But interviewers never do that 😟

Past coworker got promoted to Head of Product at my past startup within < 4 years of PM experience right out of school. It's a simple product with some ML tech thats existed, with a shiny UI on top. Only 1 small customer thus far in years.

I have a simple PM title, but run an entire P&L division end to end & own all the feature sets, roadmap and marketing (with PMM). 1T+ data trx / month. Enterprise B2B
