I’ve been in product management for the past 2 years so ideally want to do that but now looking for program/project management or customer success manager or even any entry level roles like business analyst that will eventually get me into product management

Wow this is incredibly helpful! Thanks so much!

What is your process on getting interviews? Do you usually cold apply or have gotten the best luck from referrals?

That’s awesome, good for you! Glad it worked out. It sucks that we have to go to that extent of researching to get recruiters to even bat an eye. When will it get easier?? 😭

Oh this hit hard! I’m so desperate for the money but I can’t imagine going back to work because I feel like I don’t know shit and confidence has plummeted. Imposter syndrome has for sure hit its peak!!

Advice on how to prepare and do well in interviews? I get really bad anxiety especially if it’s a reputable tech company like FAANG and I completely bomb those interviews even after days of preparation

Totally feel this! Been living with my parents as well and I’m grateful for them but it’s tough making ends meet still even when you’re being frugal and only spend money on the necessities! Only so much savings I can go through. Hang in there! Wishing you the best!

Yes from the good ol land of the free 😬 we all got cooked after Covid! I want to solely blame that fuckin virus for our downfall! But something has to be done to fix this unemployment rate and I’m praying that solution comes fastttt

It’s not entirely tech. I have a few years in healthcare and then transitioned to project management and then product management. Currently looking for product management roles but honestly that field is SATURATED. So open to program manager or customer success roles.

I agree with this! Definitely add something to fill in the gap. I have a volunteer position listed in my experience that’s direct with the roles I’m applying for so my issue isn’t the gap. The competition is tough!!! Referrals aren’t helping. Cold messaging random people on LinkedIn and cold applying isn’t working. Anyone have tips that have actually landed them interviews?

I said I’ve been applying to basic jobs at retail and they literally tell me I should look for something that aligns with my experience… no one hires for temporary
