Would you advise non-technical PM’s joining a coding bootcamp?
I’m currently looking for new opportunities and I find that when it comes to the final stages of the recruiting process, PMs with more technical skills get the role.
How do you suggest transitioning into a different PM field? (E.g. if you're an internal PM, and you want to be a B2C PM, or growth PM, or B2B PM, how do you go about gaining the needed skills/making yourself more marketable?)
How to start learning about API to engage in a PM position in a Fintech?
As you look at upcoming trends, what key areas or focuses do you think PMs should focus on to help them stay marketable?
I'm on a career break and am looking to expand my skill set! Would love to know areas you think I should study before I return back to the field
AI is commoditizing 'hard' PM tasks like PRDs and data analysis. In your view, what new skills are essential to remain a relevant leader today, and how should we pivot our career strategy to stay ahead of this rapid domain transformation?
What do you look for when you're hiring a PM or Senior PM?
How do you decide if you should follow the IC PM path or the people leader PM path?
What are the different types of product managers, and how do you figure out which type you're the best fit for?
I’ve heard that the jump from Sr. PM to the “next level” (e.g Principal or Group PM) often comes with a steep learning curve. Is that true, and how would one prepare to solidify the right foundation to ease the transition preemptively?
Are there any productivity hacks or tools that help you stay organized and on top of everything going on as a product manager?
How do you get into a saas based company if you have no experience working in one and what are some of the core competencies you need when you are starting out?
Do you think a PM should aim to manage products in the same industry and gain expertise in a certain niche throughout their career? For example, stick to Fintech or Cyber…? Do you think it’s a downside when a PM’s experience is diverse (for examples, switched from B2B to B2C and vice versa)
What skills help UX researchers transition to product management?
Can a project manager transition to a product manager and how would they do that?
I'm a senior project manager assessing options for next career steps.
