When a competitor copies your product messaging or feature set, how do you respond. I've been in situations like this before, but our team is hitting a roadblock. Do you pivot your positioning quickly, or let the market shake things out? Or maybe try to emphasize differentiation? I’d love to hear real experiences and what you learned.

Anyone who is ex-consulting and moved to industry miss the events? I don't miss the lack of WLB, but I miss getting tickets to conferences, team events and DU.
Pandemic has been good and bad, since I guess no one is going anywhere, but also because industry office is closed so no in-house events either. Miss getting varied experiences across different clients and industries that consulting offered.
Anyone else feel like their world shrunk a ton when they left consulting for industry?

How do you make connections at weddings when you barely know anyone? I feel like it’s always awkward smalltalk and at some point you’re just drunk and wanna go home.

How does this Amazon offer look for an L5 non-tech PM role in Seattle? I’m coming in with 2 YOE as a startup PM. No MBA.

$130K base, 20 RSUs, $45K sign on over 2 years ($25/20). 1st year TC $160K.

It was extended before the recent announcement that TCs are going up but I don’t know if I’d be impacted regardless.

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.

Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

Estimates on when we’ll be somewhat back to normal/not required to work from home? June? Even later?

I have 10 years combined experience in Comms and Marketing. I plan to transition into Product Marketing. I am considering a role for a Product Marketing Specialist at FAANG. What are expected salary ranges for an L5 or L6? Lots of data for Product Managers and Product Marketing Managers, but I'm assuming "Specialist " is a step below management

I’m starting to slowly get into product marketing at my job, eventually fully transition in product marketing. I’d love to get some advice on how to best work with a product team and build a relationship. Seems like our product is never quite ready (new features, updates, etc)

Has anyone ever transitioned from account management / customer success in tech sales to PMM? Any advice for pursuing this route?

Any suggestions on how to answer these interview questions? Thanks!

1. Tell me how you would hold the line and push back against leadership.

What should I pay a part time PMM at a Series A funded, Y Combinator-backed Fintech SaaS startup working 20 hours a week whose job it is to assist the CMO (me) with setting up and managing a product marketing function? This person will be the 7th hire, the second marketer, and will grow into a full time role (if they want it) as we scale. I myself just completed PMA's Product Marketing Core Cert, but I can't do it all myself and run Demand Gen and Mar Ops. Also HM experience should I require?

Who does the Director of Product Marketing typically report to (besides the CEO in tiny startups) ? VP of Marketing? I can't imagine it would be housed under Product/Engineering...

Open ended question: come annual review time, what metrics are you/your team evaluated on?

I’m interviewing for a Manager role at PayPal in the product management department and wondering how much of a salary I should ask. I am a woman and POC so I don’t want to fall into the trap of asking for/getting paid less than I’m worth. All insights welcome!!

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

Any tips on starting a side project to boost my chance of getting hired as a PMM?

Trading Event Sponsorship for Party Rentals! Hey everyone - as a nonprofit we are having an upcoming event and having sponsors for it. We don’t have a huge budget so we are looking to ‘trade’ these sponsorships for table/chair rentals. Since we are a nonprofit are we able to give them the deduction value to claim on their taxes?

any insight into how a pmm skillset is different from a brand strategist one? of course the pmm applies insights to and influences the product, but it seems like a lot of the core elements - research, understanding the user, generating insights, developing messaging and angles to speak to them, etc are super similar. interested in transitioning and I want to understand where my gaps are!
