What is the Tech industry’s perspective on Nike as an employer? Looking at Product Manager positions there, but don’t know if Nike is really considered “tech”. Looking to grow my career as a PM in tech, but I’m also trying to think about the outside perspective and how it would look on the resume.

I would recommend looking at CW (contingent worker, or contractor, hired through a staffing agency) roles at these tech companies that you are interested in working for.

It is a lot easier to find a pathway in and network to eventually find an official full-time role, as long as you operate with that goal in mind.

A couple staffing companies to keep an eye out for: Kforce, TeamPeople, The Sage Group

I wouldn’t consider it tech or adjacent.

By adjacent I mean led by former Amazon, Facebook, or Google where you would generally expect them to be developing their software in house.

That doesn’t mean you wouldn’t learn a lot and use it as a stepping stone into a tech company or make great compensation. You may want to stay. Nike has been around a while and isn’t going anywhere.

Thanks, this is great advice!

I’m early in my PM career (~2 yoe), and would love to eventually make the move into FAANG but really want to gain experience in Product before I do that.

If I can still learn a lot and eventually make that jump in the future, then seems it like it might be a good next step.

It’s not considered tech (and also does not pay like it)—but can provide opportunity to move to real tech companies.

Many people also move from PM at banks/financial services to tech.

2017 grad so technically a 4th year. Lateraled to a CRE boutique in NYC that’s a major player.

Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.

How some people are clearing interview and then getting into a project even though they don't have any skills, no desire to learn new things, can't perform a very very simple task even though it's already documented clearly, totally burden on team members. They don't even try to do basic troubleshooting when they faced simple issues, rather asks stupid question to junior who is having only 1 years of experience and ask for solution.
I noticed this in every project I joined(Service based company)
