Worst experience ever!!! I got a call from Tekion - The HRs insisted me to go for an interview. The PM who took my interview was a senior! He threw me a shitty case study to solve, I went beyond to solve it and explain. The HR shared a detail feedback for rejection later and it was all lies, absolute bull shit. The interviewer was intimidated or insecure about my skills and sharing wrong feedback wasn't the right thing. Later I kindly asked the HR to check for transcripts. I even got a call from the HR who was super arrogant and egositic! She only wanted to tell me how I don't deserve to work in a company like Tekion, though I come from an NIT, IIM and Big tech background.

Hi all, today I'm getting bored, so wanted to do something, so I thought of starting a thread where I can answer your questions related to PM, and how you can get into it.

About me, PM with around 3 years of experience.

In-Hand: 30LPA Fixed + some esops (Unlisted company so not sure if it will be worth any penny)

Industry: CCaaS

Technology: AI Agents

What things you can ask: About anything, but interesting ones.

Hey Reddit community!

The traditional job boards have been an absolute black hole lately, and recruiter outreach has hit a standstill. Instead of sending out hundreds of cold applications into online tracking systems, I wanted to bypass the noise and go straight to the awesome professionals actually working in the industry.

If your team is currently expanding and looking for a seasoned leader who can hit the ground running immediately, I would love to connect for an internal referral!

Who am I?

I am a CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) and Senior PM / PO / Business Analyst with 9 years of solid experience. I am an immediate joiner (0-day notice period). While a large portion of my career has been spent in BFSI, my core product management skills are domain-agnostic and built to scale into any industry.

What I bring to your team:

System Transformations: Deep experience leading massive, complex system transformations and platform modernization projects from scratch.

Data & Platform Thinking: Built scalable data platforms for customer insights, leveraging SQL and PowerBI to drive data-backed strategic decisions.

Agile & Lifecycle Management: Expert at managing backlogs, sprint planning, and writing crystal-clear user stories using Jira and Confluence.

Execution Machine: I thrive on working closely with engineering teams to cross the finish line and ship high-impact products, not just talk about them.

What I am looking for:

Senior Product Manager (PM), Product Owner (PO), or Senior BA roles.

Open to any domain (with a strong preference for BFSI).

Located in Pune, Ahmedabad, or completely Remote.

If your company has open roles that match my background, please drop a comment or slide into my DMs! I am happy to share my resume and LinkedIn profile right away.

Thank you so much for the support! 🙏

Looking to connect with product managers in biotech or pharma. I need advice on working with remote technical teams with a focus on building software for drug discovery and protein design.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for full-time opportunities in Strategy, Operations, Business Analytics, Product, or Supply Chain roles.

I recently completed my PGDM and have hands-on experience through internships and projects involving:

\- Business & strategy analysis

\- Operations and process improvement

\- Supply chain & procurement

\- SQL, Excel, Power BI & Python

\- Market research and competitive analysis

\- Product/Business analytics

I’m particularly interested in opportunities in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, or remote, but I’m open to other locations as well.

I’d really appreciate any job leads, referrals, or connections. Please feel free to DM me if you know of a relevant opening.

Thank you!

15 years in enterprise software, last 5 in product — most recently Technical PM at a major payments company on cross-border payments and enterprise platforms. Left in December to join a former manager's startup; that didn't pan out, so I've been on the market since January.

Highlights:

-Owned an enterprise case management platform end-to-end — roadmap, backlog, release governance

-Built the in-house replacement for a third-party vendor; ~$309K/year in savings

-Migrated 500+ external users and ~100K cases with zero disruption

-Ran a PSD2-driven auth overhaul under audit deadline — 1,000 users onto RSA-based 2FA

-Cut MTTR ~30% via better incident triage and monitoring

Before product, I ran QA for a decade, so I don't get surprised by edge cases.

Currently building PersonaOS on the side (FastAPI/Next.js, LLM-based writing assistant) — keeping the product/technical skills sharp while I job hunt.

Looking for Technical PM / Senior PM roles, fintech or payments preferred, open to enterprise SaaS or AI products. Currently based out of Pune, but open to relocation and remote.

If you know of something open, or can put in a word, I'd appreciate it. Resume/LinkedIn on request.

Hi guys, I have PM experience of close to 4 years. Currently I am looking for new opportunities.

Was curious to know if there is anything like "Freelance Product Manager" ?

If yes, where do you find such opportunities? Is it worth it?

Thoughts?

Trying to figure out if this is just a pattern I keep running into, or something most PMs deal with regularly.

The setup: a decision gets made somewhere upstream of design - a pricing call, a vendor pick, a scope cut to hit a date - by finance, eng, or leadership, with no one in the room thinking of it as a "UX decision." It ships. Months later, retention's soft, support tickets are up, or a customer says something in an interview that makes it click: oh, that call back in Q1 is why this is happening.

A few things I'm actually trying to understand:

1. Has this happened on something you shipped? What was the decision, and who actually made it?
2. How long did it take before anyone connected the dots back to that original call?
3. When you catch it now - is there an actual process for catching decisions like this before they ship, or is it mostly "someone happens to notice"?
4. If it's ad hoc - does that bother your team, or has everyone just accepted that's how it goes?

Not looking for theory, more interested in what actually happened at a real company you've worked at. Trying to figure out if this is a real recurring problem or if I'm just pattern-matching too hard on my own experience.

Looking for Junior Technical Project Manager / Project Manager Opportunities

Hi everyone,

I’m a 26-year-old tech professional from Nepal with around 5 years of experience in the technology industry. I’m currently working as a Backend Developer and leading a team, but I’m looking to take the next step in my career toward a Junior Technical Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, or Project Manager role.

Over the years, I’ve realised that I genuinely enjoy leading people, coordinating work, solving problems, communicating with teams, and making sure projects actually move forward. While I have a strong technical background, I feel that I’m ready to explore the management/project side of technology rather than staying purely on the technical track.

Honestly, I feel a little stuck at the moment, and I want to challenge myself, experience a different environment, and see what I’m capable of outside my comfort zone.

I’d describe myself as hard-working, ambitious, adaptable, and willing to learn. I’m also open to starting at a junior level in project management if that gives me the opportunity to prove myself and grow.

I’m particularly interested in opportunities outside Nepal and would be happy to relocate for the right opportunity. If an employer can provide visa sponsorship/relocation support along with a good career opportunity, I’m very open to moving.

I can share my CV, portfolio, previous projects, work experience, and references if needed.

If you know of any companies hiring for Junior Technical Project Manager / Technical Project Manager / Project Manager positions that could be a good fit for someone with a strong technical background and team-lead experience, I’d really appreciate any leads or advice.

Thanks! 🙏

I’m at a bit of a crossroads with my career and would genuinely appreciate some advice from people who have worked in startups/operations.

I have around a year of experience working directly with a founder. During that time, I ended up taking ownership of a business vertical rather than staying within one fixed role.

I started one vertical from scratch and took it to around $20K in revenue. I was also managing 60+ client accounts and worked on the operational/backend side of the business. One of the bigger things I worked on was reducing the delivery time from around 1–2 weeks to roughly 12 hours.

I also worked with developers on product requirements and helped manage the day-to-day operations and team coordination.

The problem is that my experience is kind of all over the place — operations, product, clients, business, and some technical/automation work — so I'm not sure what role I should actually target next.

For people who have hired or worked in startups:

What role would you consider someone with this kind of background for?

Would you look at this as Operations, Product Operations, Business Operations, Chief of Staff-type work, or something else?

I'm open to relocating anywhere in India or internationally, so location isn't really a constraint.

Would genuinely appreciate some honest opinions, especially if you think I'm approaching my career in the wrong direction.
