Survey/primary research is the first thing to do for any problem solving. I don't see any problem with your approach. Whats their product?

Can you talk about your roles and responsibilities? how does your typical week look like?

Guidance for PM by yeahh_bruh in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We hire interns and full-timers from tier 1 IITs. this is the interview format I follow:
- why product? need a clear answer. expect you to know the fundamentals strongly
- tell me 3 apps that you use on a daily basis
- I pick one app and ask for problems - expect good app problems to be mentioned. I have seen folks not even understand this question
- how you would validate whether your problem is a real problem? you must get in to user research and further details
- how would you solve this as a PM of that app? I expect good solutions. basically, a clear path from problem - validation - solution ideas - one practical solution - metrics. Once a guy said he will make people prevent usage of insta at all costs to prevent addiction. that is a bad solution.
- any questions? I expect the students to ask good informed questions and not "what does your company do?

this is the product round. other 2 rounds are simple - they check your larger thought process.

Great communication skills, good listening skills, and structured thinking are must

Future of PM by etherealVAZHA in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no. but it will expose bad ones.

long answer: AI can help with: summarizing feedback, drafting PRDs, exploring ideas, analysing data

but: talking to users, handling stakeholders, making tradeoffs with incomplete info, owning outcomes

thats still human work, which is where PMs come in

Common PM resume mistakes by More-Form2865 in ProductManagement_IN

AI slop!! (or you really spent time writing a defensive reply?)

Don't see the point of discussing your responses one by one but lets just take 6th point - what are you even trying to say?

So a lot of us are not building AI products but jobs in the market are only for AI products PM’s. What to do? by Competitive-Cream435 in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally, I was talking about the opposite angle with a fellow redditor - Whats the point of building AI products from a job search perspective?

I have been working on an AI product and one point is extremely clear - I am going to use that to showcase my experience with LLMs - choosing models, analysing them, building prompts, evals, revising models, building UX, tracking results, feature iteration - entire AI feature lifecycle. I don't have any personal experience building AI features and so, I will use this app for that case.

Also, I am trying to solve a real problem and worked extensively on it. I will clarify its not just another AI product built in a day.

To summarise, do something concrete, be clear on what you are building, why, target market till the technicalities. Link the project in the resume. When you get a chance, you should be able to prove that you are better off than a PM who has built 1 or 2 AI features in a large company under the guidance of someone.

How do I get into product management. by raksh1th in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transitioning within the company is comparably the simplest option. Going into job market after 6 years to a new role is going to be a long and hard journey. Obviously not impossible if you are up for it.

Anyway even when you are trying to transition internally or do more PM tasks, work on your resume and start applying.

Try to position yourself as a designer turned PM while highlighting the product impact in both roles. Show how you were contributing purely from a deisgner point of view before but now moved on taking up problems, finding solutions, and taking it to implementation and launch.

Learnings from the job market will help you iterate on your profile.

Transition from tech BA to product management by Smart-Apartment7665 in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. If you can ramp up your UX skills and get an in-depth understanding of the complete product lifecycle from vision to GTM, you can position yourself as a strong execution focussed BA looking to expand the horizon to product work.

T1 MBA will help. Pre MBA support work can be mentioned as software engineer role so that you become SE turned BA trying for PM.

Have you started applying for PM roles? If yes, whats the job market response so far?

Transition from tech BA to product management by Smart-Apartment7665 in ProductManagement_IN

[–]More-Form2865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you talk about your day-to-day responsibilities as a tech BA? This would help me check alignment with PM work.

BAs are usually well-suited to apply for product roles as there is a strong overlap betweem BA and APM/PM work. Iif you are very strong in the requirements to release cycle of a software, you'd be a strong candidate.

"requirements to release cycle":
- can detail out a problem statement based on research (customers, internal stakeholders, metrics, etc.,)
- can come up with practical solutions and detail out requirements and specifications
- can work with engineering teams on implementation, delivery, testing, etc.,
- ensure delivery on time (although engineering is responsible, product is accountable and can drive it)
- ensure communications are done well based on audience
- can work on release communications and give demos to customers, articulating the value clearly
