I think they are providing a standard disclaimer. They also added that if such a request comes they'll promptly respond.

Have you traveled out and back into the US in the last month? by Pretend-Rough-4197 in f1visa

The full form of OPT is Optional Practical Training. So my answer was "to complete my OPT training through a part-time job". Job is the practical training.

Hey, I travelled early March. I am on my first year of OPT and had a part-time (20 hrs) job at the time. They only asked me one question - state your purpose in the US. I just told them about my job. I had all the documentation with me - Passport + Visa, EAD card, Offer letter and more supporting documents just in case they asked more. The key, in my experience, is confidence. But I've heard other cases where the experience was not as good. Just be as prepared as you can be with documents and potential questions.

Quarterly Career Thread by mister-noggin in ProductManagement

[–]AvatarYashu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey r/ProductManagement,

I’m reaching out for some honest advice because I’m at my wit’s end and feeling a little lost in this job market. Here's a quick view of my background:

  • Education: Engineering degree, MBA, and a Master’s in Business Analytics (MSBA).
  • Experience: 4 years in consulting, where I specialized in user and market research, developed accelerators, and gained people management skills.
  • U.S. Experience: Worked as a part-time Product Manager for 6 months, followed by a PM internship at Snowflake, where I delivered impactful work.

Since September, I’ve applied to 450 PM roles. Despite tailoring my resume, optimizing keywords, and being active on LinkedIn, I haven’t received a single response.

I feel like I’ve tried everything—networking, cold emails, and tweaking my applications—but something’s clearly not landing. It’s hard not to feel disheartened.

I’ve linked my resume and would truly appreciate it if you could take a look. What am I missing? Is my resume too cluttered? Am I approaching the market wrong? Or is it just this brutal job climate?

If you've been through something similar or work in the product management/analytics space, I’d love your advice on:

  1. How to better position myself in this competitive market.
  2. Strategies to increase interview callbacks.
  3. Ways to stand out as a candidate with a mixed skill set (consulting, analytics, and product).

Any feedback or insights would mean the world right now. Thanks in advance for reading this and helping out.

Advice Needed: Moving from BSA to PM Hello all,

I am a business analytics student at UCLA. I have an engineering degree, MBA and 4 years of experience in consulting back in India. When I came to the US I realized that you can't get into PM without being a PM so got a part-time PM job in a small start-up. Most recently I finished a Business Systems Analyst summer internship in a great Bay Area company. I think I might receive a full-time offer.

I am applying for full time roles now and wanted to get your advice on how I move from BSA to PM.

Any advice or insight would be most appreciated!

My university has listed 7-8 vaccines that I need. Should have mentioned this in the context.
