Dear Friends,

I had my package discussion with HR and they asked me to submit the documents for approval. In the meantime I received a link from Capgemini to take the Mocha English Pro test.

Can anyone help me understand what this test is about and what kind of questions we can expect..I would appreciate your quick response as I have 2 days left to complete the test.
Thank you in advance.

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

Hi Fishies, i have experience working on Oracle Peoplesoft as well as Oracle Cloud.

Also, how hard is it to learn workday without proper formal training/certification ?

Ok, after an HR screening (and salary requirements) I had 3 interviews. Then HR calls for references and to be “reminded” of salary requirements. All 3 references now contacted. Will I get an offer?

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

I asked counsellor if I can work from outside India for a while, she said no but my colleague told me it can be done but need to get approvals.

Hi Sharks, I don't have any friends in Tech Mahindra. Need to confirm one thing. I am holding offer from TechM and HR told whatever total variable pay we mention in offer letter, we pay the same on Monthly basis in salary.

SC to M, promotion in CBO.

I was promoted to SC in Aug 2020, and milestone year shows 2024 (4 years).

Is this normal I thought SC-M was 3 years and 2 for an early promo.

Can anyone suggest if it's even possible to try to get promoted in 2 years? Just don't want to put in extra effort and getting disappointed later.

Hi

Is there any vaccancy in Accenture (Bangalore Location) for Semi-Qualified CA (Articleship if done from Deloitte)?
If there is any kindly let me know.

I am considering pivoting to product management. My background is in engineering and I manage engineering teams. Would I be able to clear 150k?

What company is at the top of your product wishlist for working? I'd love to work at Slack or at Notion. Both have great reputations and Slack especially is supposed to be an ideal place for PM's. Notion mostly just cause I use it and would love to be involved in bettering a product I actually use. Now all I have to do is actually become a product manager.

What technical skills are a necessity for product managers?

What is the funniest and/or most awkward Zoom moment you’ve had at work?

I worked at LinkedIn and one of the senior leaders was sharing screen during a meeting. The conversation shifted but the leader didn’t stop sharing screen. This person navigated to Yahoo news and clicked on an article filled with women in bikinis. This individual spent a solid 2-3 mins on the article scrolling and stopping to look at each woman. Needless to say this leader was very distracted by other things on our call.

No one answers anything in the bowl lol. this would be a good interview topic for Fishbowls PM roles. How would you drive engagement in the PM bowl? 😂

Do all PM interviews have case study and strategy questions? Have you had an interview where you weren’t presented with them? I have two panel interviews with the same company coming up and was just curious!

I recently interviewed at a fast growing pre-IPO company for a Strategic PM role and I was sold that the comp should be around $180-200k plus RSU which should be about $300k annualized TC if all goes well. I have 14 years YOE in tech, but this would be my first intro to PM roles. How much signing bonus is reasonable to ask for if I am giving up on equity and quarterly commission pay to leave my current company?

Any insights to the PwC product manager interview. All tips welcomed.

Is it ok to tell your boss/job that you're looking to transition to product, and tell recruiters you're looking for roles in product before you've quit your other job? Or should I wait until I get an offer before telling anyone. I don't want to lose my job or disappoint my boss but product is where I want to end up and I'm working towards that.

Got a really nice referral, got interviewed, and haven’t heard back. The anxiety is kinda getting to me because this job can be a huge break for me. I’m a great fit and have the right credentials and all. How do you guys deal with the stress of losing an opportunity or getting rejected?

Does anyone recommend doing any courses or degrees on product management? I am a functional consultant and I don’t have experience in PM. However I know I don’t want to stay in consulting in the long run given the long hours, and how sales play a big role
Anyone who switched to Product management please recommend some good resources, pros and cons. TIA 🙏

Thanks for creating this Bowl. Anyone here transitioned from cost engineering into PM? I’m working a internal consulting type of cost engineer role and is seems like a good position to gain skills in that could apply to becoming a PM in the future. I have also worked in design engineering and engineering analysis roles. Have a BS in mechanical engineering and a MS in Data Analytics Engineering.

I’m a business analyst for a large scale custom system for a client. My goal is to pivot to being a Product Manager in industry. Would a scrum master certification help my resume or should I do an AWS one? Already have other agile certifications

Any specific ways to get started on the PM journey? Any specific resources to follow?

Are there any courses you’d recommend that look good on a PM resume?

Any advice for someone looking to transition from Project Management?
