Hello everyone! I'm looking for an entry level Product Manager role at a Tech company. Currently I'm working at Cognizant as a Programmer Analyst Trainee Intern and will be graduating next month with a major in Computer Science. If there's any opening for Associate Product Manager in your org., please let me know!
I've been a team lead for multiple national level hackathons, built UX Designs, wrote PRDs, and learning more about PM.
I will be happy to share my resume. Microsoft Amazon Coinbase
Do Microsoft Hr and recruiters donot respond. They told me that they will offer the letter in some days and then no response.
Then after 2 weeks they shared mail with offer letter. In which I had some queries, so I raised the queries in the mail itself. There was no response again.
I tried reaching other hr and one of them never picks call and other ones is always out of network area. Its been a week and no response as of now on mail or call.
Did this happen to anyone else too?

Scenarios like this are so disheartening. 😔 What if the other people like the same things as you but are also afraid to share? Then everyone is sitting in their corners, keeping up a façade, and feeling isolated not only from their true selves but also from true connections with others every day.
This is one of the reasons I almost left the law.
People who have lived whole lives, full of the good, the bad, the weird and the sad, should be celebrated - that depth of experience -and sharing it with each other- is how you cultivate true wisdom.
But it also takes bravery, and being wired for survival, it's very hard to risk your livelihood in pursuit of authenticity...
In my case, it's not my hobbies or interests that I leave at the door, it's my struggles. I'm into MMA, I watch a lot of anime, I like nerdy science and philosophy and surrounding myself with art and fashion - and my coworkers know all of this about me. I have always liked being a flash of color in a sea of greige, and it's served me well. What they don't know is all the shouting at home, the crippling anxiety and fatigue - the things that are gritty and ugly.
BUT, what I found, and I know it's not easy to find this everywhere, was that when I did start letting people in, even in the ugliness, I was not alone.
Honestly at this point in my life, all the respectability and so forth, I don’t know who I am outside of it.

I understand. FWIW, you are your own person with your own life. Your parents have already lived their lives, so you don’t have to relive their lives for them. Find some time to get to know yourself and your own likes & interest
I was a semi pro MMA fighter, I still train/teach and I was also a licensed FA and tactical instructor. I have to leave the masculinity at home, hide my hobbies like MMA, skeet, survivalist weekend retreats, my background (I didn’t grow up rich - less they know about me better) to have folks in the business not create their own narrative or judgement around me. I put on the costume, wear my nice glasses and speak the rhetoric like Bruce Wayne. I say less about who I am and create my own character for the business world. That way, I create my own narrative.
It may sound crazy but I can’t change who I really am. Nothing I do is illegal but my background and hobbies could be too much to handle for some.
If I meet a client who enjoys the same things I do, I can share and then relate, but in the office - they will only know what they need to hear and learn about me.
I’m great at my job but people will judge - understand this truth. I have witnessed other professionals similar to my background and hobbies openly speak about it and it did hinder their career progression and locked them out of their doors.
I will however share things about me like I play golf, the fraternity I belong too, scotch and cigars, vacations with my family, college teams i route for, the nice things I bought for my wife, etc etc etc - you get it.
In summary, at your own risk - be conscious on what you share about you and know your audience and your environment. It’s not where we want to be - in regards to accepting everyone for who they are but it’s human nature and the current corporate environment.
Thank you!
You would never know that I came from an abused family, that was stricken in severe poverty that forced herself to find someone on the outside to co-sign a college loan so they could force themselves to go to college to get the hell away from their home and become a successful member of society. No, I was not able to get any grants or anything bc my lovely mother refused to sign any paperwork to send me to college and I was so dumb that I wish I emancipated myself but I knew nothing about that and didn't have the internet back then nor had anybody tell me I could. But hell I did it but I don't tell anyone that info. I also keep all my family history outside the door as well. That I feel needs to be left at the door.
I am actually a fun and silly person. I am someone you want to bring at the parties not because I drink too much or someone who becomes wild, but because I tend to start the fun by thinking crazy games and stuff. Of course, as a lawyer you have to be pretty much someone opposite of that persona.
I am what my non-work friends consider as preppy. I don't think it would be good to bring that with me in the office. I'm too scared of them finding me unprofessional and childish. Basically, I have to be boring at work.
My laziness. I think we all know what will happen. That's why I try my best to become hardworking instead since a lot is on the line.
Opposite of Executive Director 1 but still applicable. I am into LARPing, anime, Manga, comic book creation, forum role-playing Wargammer 40K figurines and other hyper nerdy shit. Most people can't relate so I just keep that stuff under wraps until I find someone right up my alley.
I’m into that too.. Berzerk is my ATF anime!!!
My fun side. I always try to maintain professionalism in the office. I always joke around outside but I have boundaries when it comes to work setting.
