What’s everyone’s general sentiment about working as an Associate Product Manager at Goldman?

I’m currently a consultant looking to break into Product! Wondering your thoughts on whether this is a good career shift or if I should only pursue Tech PM roles.

Currently a product owner at a tech consulting company that has banking clients. What I’ve heard of banking (investment banks/big banks) is that the products tend to be legacy. Generally speaking, a lot of the products won’t be some cutting edge AI or anything of that sort, though I’m sure there’s teams working on that stuff somewhere. I think you’d position yourself well for a career in some of the more promising fintech companies in the future.

I think that while it wouldn’t be good to compare GS to a product company like Google or meta etc, in my opinion, I think that if you’re trying to land a career in product management, then there’s no better way than actually doing the role vs trying to wait for a “product company” role while working as a consultant.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors.

I have been in Product Management even before the term Product Management was so prevalent. I have initiated ideas for new products to align with company strategy and goals, designed and managed the development of the products, and enabled delivery of product to the market. Since most of these are B2B products, delivery would include a phased-production rollout to those customers, based on their roles, locations etc. I have developed both software and data products in the healthcare and social
