What product marketing course helped you most in terms of tackling and thriving a real life work situation? I am ready to leave my agency and switch into a purely product marketing forward role. Let me know if you've made a similar transition .. or please share how you stepped into this world as a total beginner.

Recommend the Product Marketing Alliance (PMA), which offers great educational content for product marketers, events, and networking opportunities. They're global. They offer paid and free memberships.

As a total beginner, I would recommend taking some very basic courses. Coursera or Udemy can be great for that, and they are cost-effective. Try and find a position that can start you off, ideally one that has some kind of learning stipend so you can continue to learn while also getting experience.

Udemy has some amazing courses tbh. Don't sleep on it. It's really affordable and well-structured as well.

Thank you in advance.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke.

The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much. I’m currently interviewing with a couple of other companies that are amazing and would be my too choices. However, I’m very early in the process so it will probably take a month or so to get to the offer stage with them. I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?
