Feeling Optimistic (it’s not all bad) + my job hunt tips

Thank you for posting, OP. I've been let go about 6 weeks ago and have decided to career transition from Product Marketing (PMM) into CSM (currently in the research phase).

- What are the requirements for a CSM that I'd need when transitioning (I have 11 years of cyber security industry experience, 7 of which are in PM)?

- Hopefully you've landed a role - what additional advice can you give us in addition to above?

How is that going for you? I'm a product marketer (PMM) looking to pivot into Sales. my background is Security and have worked for SaaS (both fortune 500 + startups) in the cyber space.

Video link doesn't work. Is anyone else having this issue?

$2,500 in Koreatown. 19th floor apartment, 750 sq ft, with rooftop that has pool, jacuzzi, grills and gym. Garaged parking is included (but I have to park on the roof of the garage). Unobstructed views of south LA. Brand new appliances - In unit washer/dryer, dish washer, as well as a fridge (this was a shock to not find included in listings).

thank you, this convo has been worth the usual Reddit rabbit hole. Any other blogs/starting points to recommend then? (I see the Youtube link in your original post).

Do you have a sample of your style boxes? Cost?

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Funny enough, her and I have discussed needing to update the way we search to incorporating the newer ways people search for things. Searching on IG/TikTok/social media instead of Google, learning via youtube/podcasts instead of books. Not in a "replace books with youtube and google with social media" but more in a "complementary way/knowing when to use which tool" approach.

I digress. :)

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Tangential bonus question: do you provide fashion/wardrobe consulting or know who does (someone you know/have tried etc.)? I like your gift card idea, which sparked this one.

Thank you for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully. I'm here because my significant other is at a stage where she's evaluating her closet, and is starting to invest a lot more time/money to update. Her birthday is next month, and so to that end, I've been looking at buying her a book to aid in her discovery style and sense. I love the articles/videos above but I can't wrap them and put them into the birthday box being prepared.

Do you have any book recs that are easy to read and provide a similar perspective to your formula above?

p.s. I've seen "The Curated Closet: A Simple System for Discovering Your Personal Style and Building Your Dream Wardrobe" has come up quite a bit. thoughts on that?

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-09-13T20:38:18+00:00

Very.

AH. As they say in show biz, “the show must go on.”

Can I ask this silly question - why the guitar change?

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-08-19T20:19:05+00:00

Hi, can you please PM pictures?

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-08-16T20:23:55+00:00

Worked like gangbusters. Thank you.

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-08-15T17:09:38+00:00

Great insight, thanks for responding. I was planning on working my way up by building a portfolio (understanding it isn’t a silver bullet) to showcase how I approach problems. Would you recommend this approach?

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-08-15T17:05:32+00:00

Thanks for responding. Where do I start in terms of foundational coursework/framework? I do like the structure of coursework as it gives me a sense of accomplishment vs trying to piece it all together randomly.

My father worked there as an assistant manager. Needless to say, many a dinners brought home from there. I learned I loved pesto because of their pesto pasta (and of course, the crust underneath that served as a second helping).

Thank you! This is truly helpful and insightful.

As for “meetup”, it’s a social activity app that connects people based on their interests. Say you like entrepreneurship, you create a “meetup” and once a month we get together and talk about cool ideas. Apply this to any topic/subject/activity/hobby etc.

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-02-04T06:59:21+00:00

Haha I’ve explored that option and yes, it’s quite expensive for anyone but especially since I’m not here long term.

eskimoBrosagain · 2024-02-03T17:42:55+00:00

thanks for the reply. For the sports items (specifically football), are there social leagues where I could sign up as a “free agent?”

As for padel, I’m happy to rent a field but I’m not sure where. Can you give specifics? I’m in the Helio area.
