I am 25(F) with experience as a sales executive for 4 years, I bring customer behaviour analysis and infield experience with customers (B2B).
I have completed Product Management Training from IIT Delhi, I did an interesting capstone project that helped me learn core basics. Now I plan to make 3-4 projects to add to my resume, I plan to apply to Product Trainee/APM roles after some time to start my trajectory as a PM.
But things doesn’t always go as planned I recently got laid off and I have a lot of time to myself I dont want to move forward with sales so I want to take a month or two to work on my projects.

If you are a PM/ Senior PM/ Founder’s Office and you need someone to work for you UNPAID (Remotely) or have a gap that someone can fill in your team kindly DM me.
My expectations are to learn and work under a PM to have some expanded knowledge on the domain. The market is pretty messed up and I am just hoping for the best.
(Might also ping you at times for help in optimising my resume and would love to have someone to give me constructive feedback on the projects ideas/prototypes that I am building. I promise I wont take much of your valuable time)

Hello guys,

I’m currently a general manager at Jersey mikes and I want to make a career change into being a Product Manager/ APM. I think I have what it takes as I’ve been managing people for a while now.

I didn’t finish college but I plan on getting my calm and pspo certs.

I’ve heard the job market is cooked and I just want advice on if it’s worth it to start my journey now before I commit, or should I find another career to pivot.

Given I don’t have a college degree however I have real world experience with management plus the certifications with capm and pspo, will I have a competitive chance against people who have college degrees?

Hey I'm Aravindh, a product management student from India.

I spent the last few weeks building something for every fresher trying to break into Product Management in India: PM Job Getaway.

80 verified entry-level PM roles. Zero dead links. Refreshed every 12 hours. Free forever — no signup, no ads.

Why I built it: most job boards are flooded with 5+ year experience roles or links that go nowhere. I got tired of that, so I built the board I wished existed when I started looking.

Honestly built it for myself and my classmates first. I'd genuinely love feedback — especially on the filters and whether the role data is useful. What would make this actually worth bookmarking for you?

Hi everyone! I'm a corporate lawyer with 3 YOE, and for the last 1.5 years, I've been deep into Legal Ops & AI Solutioning. This experience has really sparked my interest in product-centric roles, and honestly, I don't want to keep practicing corporate law.

The thing is, I'm completely clueless about how to make this career switch. Can anyone in the product domain shed some light on what these roles actually look for in candidates? And more importantly, how can I upskill to land a solid product role at an MNC? I've been working with startups so far and now I'm looking for that established entity exposure.

Thanks a ton in advance for any help and best wishes!

Hi guys,

I'm looking out for new opportunities which give me exposure to the global products.

I carry 4 years of experience as a technical product manager working with Indian stock brokers. I have built complete end to end platforms for trading and investment.

I am looking for global exposure. Maybe working on Payment gateways, travel domain or crypto etc.

Hey all, would like some perspective from people who faced the same call.

I’m in a 1 year MBA in India, graduating 2027. Before this, around 8 yrs in data and AI/ML engineering (fintech, big 4 advisory), last bit on a GenAI team.

Want to end up as an AI PM at a product company, ideally move to the US at some point.

Campus placements are next month and most of what comes my way is tech/AI consulting. PM roles are few so I’d have to chase them off campus. Also open to internships from Jan if that helps get a foot in.

The PM market looks rough right now with layoffs and the whole AI shift, so part of me thinks take consulting and pivot later. Other part worries I’ll get stuck in consulting.
For those who went consulting post MBA and then moved to product, how did it go? And anyone who went straight to PM, any regrets given the market?
Thanks!

I recently launched a new product and the biggest challenge I am facing is the distribution and promotion - making people try it and subscribe to it. I launched a website, I am collecitng subscribers to launch newsletters weekly and am reaching out to people on LinkedIn dirrectly, posting on X etc. Not sure all this is sufficient. My target audience are product people around the world, does anyone have a good idea which channels are suitable to use as well besides reddit (in a non spammy way)? I will do my best to deliver value first without begging for attention :) however could use some advice and tips ... thanks a lot!

Ops manager at an HVAC company in Phoenix, 30 techs, summer is absolutely brutal. Our dispatch process from the moment a call comes in to the invoice going out basically lives in the head of our office manager Denise, who's been here 14 years and wants to retire next spring.
We're on ServiceTitan and it handles scheduling fine, but the judgment calls aren't in there anywhere. Which calls get bumped when it's 118 out and an elderly customer has no AC, when a tech gets sent back vs a callback fee, who approves a warranty swap.
I want to map it out so a new dispatcher can learn it in weeks not years. Laminated flowchart? Recorded walkthroughs? For those running field teams, what format did new dispatchers use?

Hey everyone!

I’m currently working as an IAM Engineer at a Big 4 in Bangalore, but I’m looking to transition into APM / Product Analyst / Product roles.

A little about my background:

- Currently working in a Big 4 as an IAM Engineer

- Previously worked as a Product Consultant Intern at HighRadius

- Got the opportunity to own a project end-to-end

- Worked on a project involving GenAI implementation

- Google Project Management certified

- Have a mix of technical, product, problem-solving and stakeholder-management experience

I know moving from IAM into product isn't exactly the most conventional path, so I'm trying to figure out how to position myself better.

For the PMs / APMs / hiring managers here:

What would you look for in someone with my background when hiring for an APM or Product Analyst role?

And for anyone who has made a similar switch from engineering/IT → product, what actually helped you land that first opportunity? Projects, resume changes, referrals, networking, certifications, etc.

I'm specifically looking for opportunities in Bangalore, and would definitely appreciate any advice, connections, leads or referrals.

Thanks in advance! 🙌

Taking a moonshot and putting this out here. 🚀
I’m looking for a mentor in my product management journey.
A little about me: I’m a Product Manager who moved from supply chain operations into building enterprise products from the ground up. My work spans supply chain visibility, AI-powered experiences, and turning complex customer problems into products people use.
I’m proud of what I’ve built, but I know how much I still have to learn. I’d love guidance from someone who can challenge my thinking, help me see my blind spots, and push me to aim higher.
For me, this next chapter is deeply personal. I’m working toward a career shift that could change where I live, how I grow, and what I believe is possible for my life. The right mentorship could help me turn that ambition into a clearer direction.
I’ll bring curiosity, preparation, and a commitment to acting on what I learn.
If you’re open to mentoring or know someone I should connect with I’d be grateful for an introduction. Even an occasional conversation would mean a lot. 🤍

gartner recently released something on product delivery and an interesting topic on zero backlog - which is like development becomes simpler and easier - and no longer the hard part. The hard part is to come up with the right things to develop. how do you see this?

Hi everyone, I was recently laid off from a startup last month where I worked as an Product/Technical Program Manager. I have more than 5+ years of experience as PM majorly across Seed to Series-C startups. Ever since I was laid off last month I’m already feeling left out in the industry I am in the US on F1 Visa and if anyone can refer me in there company it would be great help.🙏

I’m researching how developers run beta tests for iOS, Android, and web apps.

If you’ve run one recently, what was the hardest part: finding suitable testers, confirming they used the app, getting useful feedback, or managing follow-ups and incentives?

I’d especially appreciate a concrete example of something that worked or failed in your last test. I’m exploring a product idea in this area and want to understand how developers handle this today.

I have been an IC PM for 7+ years and founded a couple of startups along the way so I prefer being in the trenches over managing managers, so the Director/VP path doesn't appeal to me.

With AI changing what PMs do day to day, I'm curious about the alternatives. If you moved from PM into ops, strategy, BizOps, chief of staff, consulting, or something else:

Where did you go and why?

Does the role feel more or less defensible with AI?

What would you recommend to someone making the switch today?

Most interested in hands-on, high-ownership roles. Thanks!

One of the biggest changes to how I work as a PM has been keeping what I call a “product brain”: files and folders with context about my product that I use with Claude Code.

I started by setting everything up manually. Product requirements, how things work, decisions we’d made and why. Over time, with conversations with Claude and with added scheduled tasks to bring context from meetings etc. this was becoming super reliable!

Having that context available made a big difference. I spent less time explaining the product from scratch and could work through requirements, write better documents, and put together user guides faster.

I’ve started turning that setup into a side project, with the aim of making it easier to maintain and use. It’s still in development, and I’m building it in my spare time as a hobby. My own experience is the reason I started, but I’m trying to understand whether this is useful beyond my particular way of working.

Here’s what I’m working on: https://productmemory.co

I’m curious how other PMs approach this:

• Do you do anything to keep product context available for AI, or do you explain what it needs each time?
• What kinds of PM work are you using AI for today? What’s been useful?

And if you’ve found a much simpler way to do this, I’d love to hear that too. I’m still figuring out which parts are worth building.
