Looking for book recs, articles, product-related events, clubs, programs, LinkedIn connections...anything!

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

I'm looking to pivot from consulting into tech. I've gotten lots of interesting from tech companies on the ops side but am much more interested in product management.

Any advice on books or courses to help make the transition? I'm struggling to land PM interviews at companies that aren't tiny startups :(

Got a verbal from a tier 1 semiconductor market leader. Base is 10% less than current. And I’m already underpaid. RSU is next to nothing. But, I’m so burnt out and desperate leave consulting. What would u do if in my situation?

Hi All,

Moving out of IT consulting to Product Management side in the next couple of weeks.
The new company I will join is an e-commerce division of a leading food retail group.

Any suggestions about books/ videos that I can access to learn the basics of the product side?

Any recommendations for great classes or books on Product Management? Also, in your opinion, what skills make a great Product Manager. Is knowing how to code required?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What are you reading currently, that's related to Product Management. Any book or article? I'm currently reading Measure What Matters.

Earning potential between Data Engineer, Product Manager, and Human Capital Consultant? I feel that I have the skills to do all of them, but want to make sure I am on the best path (all are equally interesting in my books)

Objective: To be a better Product Manager in conversing with Developers

TIA

Worked as a senior consultant in the rpa space at a startup and currently a senior rpa engineer in industry. I feel ready and would love a more leadership role. What kind of roles should I look for or what kind of technologies should I transition to to progress my career? I am really bored at my current job. Don’t feel challenged at all

I’ve had enough. I may or may not have ADHD but I damn think so, as well as people I’ve talked to about it. I know I am smart and can accomplish certain things/tasks, but I literally just can’t get my mind to it sometimes. It was bad in college and only got worse since I started working. How do I go about at least getting tested or what’s the the process? Thank you so much in advance.

What is your favorite way of winding down during the evening when you get home?

This is my first post on Fishbowl, wondering if the Fishbowl community can help!

Hello everyone
I am looking for a change
Having 1 year of experience can someone .
That will be great for me.

I find myself spending more and more time on Twitter. Is it a useful research tool or a distraction?

I was offered a job today at a local furniture company but they want me to start tomorrow? Is that a bad sign or a good sign?

Thought this bowl will be fun when I joined but people are posting serious stuff here as well 🤔

Vacation ideas for Thanksgiving? Six of us (ages 25 to 60) and everyone’s vaccinated. Thought about going to the Caribbean but I guess it’s the wet/hurricane season at that time. We’d be traveling from LA and Chicago and it’s only for a week if that helps. Any places you’ve enjoyed during late November?

How is AS400 IBM mainframe project in TCS ?

Anyone here leased a Cadillac Escalade (standard one, not the ESV)? Any insights on monthly payments? TIA!

F 🐟 grew in India, serious question, do you expect the guy to hug you at the end of the first date ? Growing up in India, hugging a date (however good it went) wasn't a thing, atleast where/when I grew up. Read a few opinions on the singles bowl that the guy isn't interested if he doesn't hug you...yada yada.... I always get confused here in the US whether hug or shake hands.... Curious to hear female perspective on this

My wife and I together make 750k. Currently own a 700k home (28% equity). We’re planning on moving in a year and would like to invest in a home in the new city while keeping the old one. What should we budget for assuming income stays the same?

I work in clinical research and I’m under consideration to work for another research facility; however I hesitate because it’s a consulting position that can turn to permanent. It’s a huge pay increase (8-10 more) with benefits, PTO, etc. Any thoughts about consulting or temp-to-permanent jobs?

Had a client's client kill some TV spots. Apparently there is no room for comedy and satire in these uncertain times. People need to laugh!

I am about to finish a 6 month bootcamp and I am a single mum. Is it realistic for me to find a remote working job or working in the office during term time (school hours) and working from home during the holidays/evenings. If this is possible some possible companies for me to try looking for work would be great. Many thanks.

What’s a good tech company or sector to look for marketing jobs if I don’t have a comp sci background but want to increase my tech savvy? Some topics I find interesting: software dev, cybersecurity, and animation. TIA

If you are a software developer what is your WLB like?

Hi all! I picked up a part time job as “computer support” a few months ago and have since found myself doing a lot more than anticipated. I handle installation and maintenance of Burglar systems, access control, video surveillance, network systems, POS workstations, VoIP, and payment terminals. I took the job with no “formal” education in tech. My “trainer” at the company was a joke, I basically taught myself everything. What do you think would be a reasonable hourly pay for such a person?

Do you consider stocks in your income/salary negotiation? Like if an offer exceeds your expectations but part of that is stock, is that sufficient or is it reasonable to counter with a higher cash compensation due to quality of living expectations etc.
