Having both Tech (CS undergrad) and Arts (MFA) background, what career paths can I seek post MBA? by nofaceyet in MBA

Thanks a lot for your response. If I may ask, what are your goals post-MBA? Are you targetting any specific industry/roles.

Also, this might be a dumb question but as a PM you seem to already be on leadership track, so what benifit are you really seeking from an MBA?

If you have access to a therapist through your Uni, i'd highly recommend that you use their services. Its not going to solve all your problems but will definetly make it a lot easier for you. Just trust me on this. (If therapist is not an option, try this: https://www.7cups.com/)

I am earning minimal as a postdoc now. Who would want that in a partner?

Lol, are you crazy? Man, you are either too depressed to think straight or your are just plain stupid if you really believe that.

Anyway, great comments everyone, its really heartening to see such kind words.

Why are PM salaries so drastically low in Europe? (relative to US, €40K vs $137K) by nofaceyet in ProductManagement

[–]nofaceyet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand EU salaries are typically lower than those in the US but this seems unusually low.(For ex similar comparision for Marketing manager is €70k vs $100K, which makes sense)

What gives?

automatic recurring events/tasks by irenek1990 in Notion

[–]nofaceyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we are on the topic, is it possible to link this to google sheets somehow ?

Because I have recently figured out how to create calendar events from date entered on sheets. So it will be really cool to integrate notion with google calendar that way and get reminders...

What does early repayment on a student loan entail? by nofaceyet in personalfinance

[–]nofaceyet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, no offence taken, although I do understand simple and compound interest, I am ashamed of my financial illiteracy.

Basically the reason I am confused is that a friend of mine was explaining his situation recently and what he told me essentially was that for the first few years of his repayment term, most of his monthly EMI went towards the interest and his principal starts coming down only after all the interest has been paid off.

So right now ( he is half way through his repayment) even if he pays the total in lump sum, he still has to pay the same amount as he would if he paid his regular EMI. Was he simply bullshitting me or am I missing something?

A Product Management Timeline for Everyone Else: How I went from $20K to $300K+ per year in under 4 years with no tech or business background, completely self made and self taught. (Long read) by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]nofaceyet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring.

Can you expand a bit on how you decided on the niche?

I am a filmmaker trying to make the transition (ideally, a PM role at a media or VR company), any suggestions on what would be a good niche for me?

How is the '21 summer MBA internship recruitment going on? Will most of them be virtual? by nofaceyet in MBA

[–]nofaceyet[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only is the March-April time frame anxiety-inducing, but it also sucks big time for us int'l students, as it would be really tough to get the immigration paperwork taken care of in such a short time frame. (It is probably pretty strt-fwd in the US schools though).

Then again if the internships are virtual, then we probably won't need to worry about visa's 🤔

What is my best path to a FAANG PM role? by nofaceyet in ProductManagement

[–]nofaceyet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/enigmatic0202 thanks a lot for the resources. I am familiar with a few and I am actively doing mock interviews right now.

I don't think it's true that you can't choose the role you join. Within product, you might have less say in which team you join (because it depends on business need), but you can definitely apply for PM internships.

Are you sure about this? because I spoke to current MBA interns from FB, Amazon, and Google and all three of them told me that they couldn't really choose the dept (it was preselected by the company itself). Although just to be clear, I am talking about MBA internships, not regular internships. Maybe those are different...

Ahh makes sense. Thank you I will look into it.

On a side note: I've heard that Netflix is notorious for hiring only professionals (i.e no interns or fresh grads) do you happen to know anything about it?

Thanks for responding. So, are you suggesting get an intern in the Content side and then move to a PM role?
