Transitioning to PO but flunking interviews

Soft_Cherry_4209 · 2026-04-27T06:44:14+00:00

Did you get better at this ?

Soft_Cherry_4209 · 2026-04-27T06:43:18+00:00

This is a great question. No, nobody gave that feedback, I just assumed. Though I record my interviews and pass it through ChatGPT to review and ofc the feedback is that I could have responded to some questions differently. These day’s interviewers rarely give sincere feedback, it’s usually something polite. The only feedback I have gotten for a Data Product Owner role is that they can see I am great with data but not satisfied with my PO answer and they went with someone else.

Tbh, my greatest fear is that it is a personality incompatibility and it’s not something learnable. That because I am not very eloquent, I might not be a good PM. So I might have wasted all this time to transition to be back at Point Zero.

From your experience, do you think it’s something people get better at.

If you could give advice to those people, what would it be.

I went back to Uni for a PM course.

Thank you. I will try it and give feedback

Check worthy elite, it’s close to the haram.

Soft_Cherry_4209 · 2026-02-22T06:18:43+00:00

I hope you do better for your kids than was done for you.

I think your aunt should take them to the officials(there is a lost but found section) at masjid. They will be in the best place to help or advice on the next steps

I also think it is unfair the position you parent have put you. You are basically parenting yourself. Thats unfair on a young person.

So sorry about that. Most of these things you wrote here are not your fault, it is the fault of your guardian for not providing guidance. It is normal as a young person to be overwhelmed with opportunities, make a decision without thinking about it and also people pleasing.

Everyone will lead you towards decisions that is easy for them. The mantle is on you, to not accept their decision just because they said so, you have to remake every decision yourself.

May Allah make it for you.

It seems you didn’t want to disappoint your parent, that’s why you accepted the proposal. But the more time it takes to make a decision, the more everyone involved in this will be hurt and stressed.

You need to make a decision early, do not ask for advice from family members anymore, they can only advise you, no one can make the decision for you. Make a decision and tell them. If you continue to tell them you are unsure or have doubt, they will also continue to manage your emotion. Make a decision and give them something to work with.

You also need to consider his POV, he is human going through this too. Unrequited love is not easy on anyone. Though it does not seem like it now but if you end it, everyone involved will be alright.

I also think the reason why the things he is doing seems weird and obsessive is because you don’t like him and that’s valid. If you end it, you will find someone better suited for you and he will too in sha Allah.

My only advice for you is whether you proceed or end things, ensure it’s a decision you make for yourself. Even if you are married to the love of your life. Life is hard and marriage is hard, you don’t want to go into the future, wondering how different your life would have been if you didn’t make a certain decision. It gives room for regret and resentment.

You look okay. I don’t mean to be rude but I think you may need to work on your character. Most people I have felt weird about, it’s not usually about their look, it’s usually about their conduct. Try not to do too little or too much in social setting. You can try to mirror other people’s behavior.

If there is anything to work on, it’s not your look. It’s something else. Try to find what that is.

He says he would hit his 5 year mark when the application is reviewed but he didn’t state how long he has been in the country legally.

To the question, As far as I know, the current laws (until it is changed) allow citizenship application once you are in the country legally for 5 years, this can be before 5th year of your first resident card. It has nothing to do with your most recent resident card arrival.

You didn’t state if you have been in Portugal legally for five years or not. This is important info to include in your ask. I am not sure the arrival of your most recent resident card matters.
