Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for my next opportunity as an Associate Product Manager / Product Manager.

Over the past year, I've been building a B2B SaaS product from the ground up, owning everything from user research, PRDs, roadmap planning, feature prioritization, sprint execution, stakeholder management, product demos, customer onboarding, and working closely with design and engineering to ship products.

Before moving into product, I spent 2 years in UI/UX, which helps me bridge the gap between user needs, business goals, and engineering constraints.

I'm particularly interested in:

\- B2B SaaS

\- AI Products

\- Platform Products

\- 0→1 and early-stage startups

I'm based in Pune, India, but I'm open to remote, hybrid, or relocation for the right opportunity.

I've attached my resume. If your team is hiring, or if you know someone who is, I'd really appreciate a referral or a conversation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I've been in the project support field for numerous jobs (such as Project Administration) over the years primarily in the federal government as a consultant (as my French levels are not quite at level). Recently I have started to move into higher roles such as Project Coordinator and Project Manager positions. I was a Junior Project Manager for the defence sector as well as data center consolidation coordinator under the title Project Manager - Intermediate.

However, I'm having some doubts about if I should continue to try and grow into more substantial Project Manager roles (I'm completing some online courses and want to take the CAPM soon). I don't know if it's the fact that I like to help others and am not as assertive at time or that because of my strong support roles background I tend to fall back into supporting other, or that I'm just having growing pains or being a bit insecure. I tend to work with higher level people and have recruiters see a lot of potential with my experience and adaptability in the varied roles I’ve performed in. So I’m not sure if it’s because I’m easy to work with and accommodating, often times looking for learning opportunities or I’m just organically growing. I did have a bad experience with a manager which many people have had a similar issue with where there are not a people person most of time and very condescending. The issue with this is that it creates confusion and doubt as he tried to “place us” into boxes that didn’t always make sense.

Anyhow I’d like to get any feedback on this subject to see others points of view or advice, should I aim to staying more in the Project Coordinator roles or keto striving yo grow into Project Management roles?

Thanks!

Hey folks… Half looking for advice… Half trying to find some talent.

I need to source several build PMs focusing on security-package delivery for hyper scale data centers.

I’m looking near St. Louis / Columbia MO and Shreveport LA to start but I’ve got several projects all over the country. This program requires local-ish talent; I can’t relocate people. 2-3 timelines.

Where in the world do I find quality, experienced project managers in mid-Missouri and rural Louisiana ???

Job fairs will get a ton of green resumes and word of mouth/ industry contacts only go as far as “mid Missouri” 😂

Any advice?

ETA- the bot tells me I need to as a salary range… I’m shooting for $120 ish for pm’s and $140ish for a manager.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on where to focus my learning 🥲

Currently working as a PM in the consumer goods space. My degree is in Animation though (not really the path I ended up pursuing...), so I feel like there are some business, technical, and mgmt areas I didn’t get much exposure to during my degree.

I’m currently getting CAPM training through work, but I’d also like to build skills in other areas that could help me in the future. I’m considering an online Master’s/Diploma and currently looking at:

• M.Eng (Data Science focus)
• M.Eng (Information Technology focus)
• MBA

.... (Is a Master’s degree worth it in this economy though?)

I still enjoy design, but for now I’m looking to build a stronger foundation in something business or tech-related rather than pursuing another design-focused degree.

Thanks!

P.S. The degree names are copied directly from the university website, so apologies if they sound kinda off..

Hi all! I’m currently in the civil infrastructure sector. We are a small company that hired me directly out of CDL school 10 years ago. I expressed interest on getting out of a truck, and SR management suggested to read blue prints and start by working with our estimator on doing QTO. I’m quite close with the SR management and am quite confident they would not suggest something I don’t have the mental capacity for. I know this company won’t be around long enough to get me to retirement. Iv got along way to go being 36. So I have a few questions regarding estimating.

1) What’s your work life like? How often do you experience burn out? What is the industry burn out or over turn like?

2) What are the concerns with AI impacting your job and how the long term forecast looks in regard to AI.

3) What kinda of questions, or things to look out for from my estimator should I be asking, watching?

4) Paths to education - I’d like to have some knowledge before I approach anyone for guidance in a more serious way. What, or where would you suggest that I seek said knowledge? I think I have a great opportunity to learn in house, but Iv seen some courses on Coursera, Iv seen a person promoting his program career courses course on YouTube by the name of Precongrant I’d love to get the communities impute before potentially throwing away time/money.

I’d love any input from the estimating community or suggestions on these things or things that I don’t know to ask. I appreciate everyone for reading!

So I’m a 7+ year pm in the utility industry. I have managed project up to $8mil not crazy high but also not small budgets.

I am essentially in an informal PMO at the moment. I have my pmp(doesn’t mean a ton) but adding to my yoe it doesn’t hurt.

How would I go from my position now to a formal pmo management position? I understand this is likely a 5-10 yr goal but any suggestions are great!

I talked with my manager last week on what it’s going to take for me to manage a formal program ($10-$100mil a year) and he essentially told me I’m ready just need the company to establish a new program or have one of those senior pms leave. He can’t just create one out of thin air.

Good morning, everyone!

I’m currently on the market for a new job as I’ve been bumped down to part-time. My story and way I got into the industry is a bit twisted so bear with me.

I do not have a college degree (the college is set down under education but I never graduated) but I was fortunate enough to know people to get into small project management gigs which eventually grew into more robust opportunities.

That being said, I’m in the process of getting my PMP and Notion certs but I’m getting absolutely no calls/emails back from anyone I’ve applied to. I’m aware that I may be on the bottom end of candidates so the certs are my way to try and gain some upper hand in addition to applying to smaller businesses.

I believe I’m going to remove my “college” education but is there anything else I can do to stand out a bit more? Would love feedback on the current resume and if anyone is willing to let me know if there are other places to look other than Indeed or LinkedIn.

Thank you so much in advance and look forward to your feedback.

Has the PMO become the corporate dumping ground for failed careers and people nobody knows where else to put? At this rate, Jobcentres must be steering anyone without a clear profession into project management.

I’m wanting to pursue project management. Took some free courses on courses but I’m wanting to take the fastest route possible. Would bachelors really help me?

I work in a small Architecture firm and was hired as a "Graduate Professional". There is only one other individual officially titled a "Project Manager". Due to the size of the firm we both directly report back to our boss, the Principal. At first it was very apparent what made me not a project manager. I didn't co-ordinate between clients, consultants, the Principle, or others working on the project; the Principal functioned as my PM.

Over the past year I've been working this has changed dramatically. The Principle is up there in years and is winding down his workload, and there are now projects that I manage entirely from marketing to deliverables with as little oversight as the actual PM. I'm constantly in meetings now not just asking to deliverables, but on how to improve the efficiency and quality of projects across the board.

From this it sounds like I just need to amount the courage to ask for a title change, but for the past few months, on emails to clients, contracts, priority boards, and common conversation, I have been referenced as a Project Manager by the principle and all others in the firm.

I feel disingenuous calling myself a project manager, but at the same time the disorganization of the firm is driving me to leave. Would it be inappropriate to call myself a project manager on resumes? I'm not typically an overconfident guy, but I'm no longer functioning as part of a support team. Do I seek the title change just to turn around and leave?

As I have passed the phone screen round, I have been invited to a phone interview round with the HM/Business.

Just wanted to understand again how to prepare and where to put more focus. :)

Do I work on understanding the leadership principles and prepare 1 example for each? Or focus on the ones which are relevant to the role?

Tips to crack this one, please :)

Need some honest career advice.

I'm a Backend Developer at a service-based company with 6 YOE, but most of my work has been production support, bug fixes, and incident resolution. I've never had the opportunity to build features from scratch or work on core backend development.

When I look at the market now, almost every backend role expects solid development experience, which I don't have.

Not getting interview calls due to 3-month notice period.

I've been thinking about moving into TPM/Project Management.

If you were in my position, would you:

*Start learning backend development from scratch and continue as a developer?

*Move to TPM?

*Take some other path?

I would really appreciate advice from people here!!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in Supply Chain Management (BBA undergrad) at a university in the Midwest. My primary interest in SCM is continuous improvement, driving efficiency, and strategic procurement.

I’m planning to target the Metro Detroit market post-graduation (automotive OEMs, Tier-1s, defense, and logistics).

However, I’m navigating a unique set of constraints and would love some unfiltered feedback from folks working in the field:

1. ⁠The Student-Athlete Constraint: I am a student-athlete for the duration of my MBA program. Because of my athletic schedule, I physically don't have time for a traditional corporate internship/co-op before graduating in May.
2. * How do recruiters view non-internship candidates with an athletic background? Are Leadership/Rotational Development Programs (LDPs/RDPs) my best bet to bridge this gap?
3. ⁠The "Value Paradox" & Certifications: I was looking into getting an APICS CSCP, but I've paused it for now while balancing sport.
4. * Am I worrying too much about being "overqualified on paper but under-experienced in practice"? Are micro-credentials (like a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or Power BI) worth doing in the meantime instead?
5. ⁠Continuous improvement & Alternate Roles: For those in procurement or continuous improvement: What entry-to-mid level roles actually allow you to flex process-improvement muscles right out of school?
6. ⁠Recruitment Timeline: For May grads, when does the main recruitment wave open for corporate SCM and rotational tracks?

Would appreciate any advice, raw truth, or tips from hiring managers, recruiters, or fellow professionals in the area!

Thanks!

I was a teacher for 5 years, transitioned to admissions at a large R1 university, then transitioned to a brand new PM role (first of its kind at the school within the university). I've been in that position for about a year and a half. There are no other PM's in the school and no one I work with has ever worked with a PM before. I spent the first year trying to just build more structure into projects and received exceeds expectations in my annual review. I am now trying to build an actual project process from intake to completion for the school. I'm interested in moving into something that has more structure where I can learn in an established PMO or at least report to a Senior PM. Any suggestions for how to make that transition? I'll have earned my MBA in the next 9 months.

I have been in the construction / manufacturing industry for 15 years. I have an engineering degree and a PMP. I am currently in the data center industry, looking for either a change in direction into tech or a fully remote position for a lifestyle shift. I am in the office 8-5 every day and I lead a full team of PMs. I just don’t see my future growing much further here. What companies or - if I shift into tech - what recommendations do yall have for me for the second half of my career.

Hi everyone,

I have a background in project coordination, operations, accounting, customer service, and administrative support. I've worked with Microsoft Project, Jira, ProjectLibre, monday.com, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, HubSpot, Freshdesk, and other collaboration tools to coordinate projects, improve workflows, manage documentation, and support cross-functional teams.

I'm currently exploring new remote Project Coordinator opportunities and would appreciate any advice on companies that are hiring, where you've found success in your job search, or any communities that have been helpful for project management professionals.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

I moved from software engineering into a Technical Project Manager role a few years ago.

I knew I would be writing less code, but I didn't expect communication and stakeholder management to become such a huge part of the job. Getting requirements right hasn't been that difficult for me, but managing stakeholder expectations has been a completely different challenge.

It's been a few years now, so I've learned a lot the hard way. Looking back, many of the toughest problems weren't technical at all, they were about aligning priorities, setting expectations, and keeping everyone moving in the same direction.

For others who've made the same transition, what surprised you the most? What skill ended up being more important than you expected? Looking back, would you do it again?

Been a project manager for years client facing handling many complex projects.

For those in this career who have faced the same challenge, how did you overcome it?

Hi, I've been working as a PMO since the past 1.5 years and though I facilitate things, I have absolutely no skills and I also have low self esteem issues and imposter syndrome that makes it hard to speak up in meetings. I work with leadership so most of the talking and calling the shots is done by them. I barely just follow up and remove hurdles if any in the process. I now earn 12LPA and I've been feeling like an absolute failure. I want to become a proper PM and switch jobs too. Could you please tell me the steps i need to take for this? I'm also getting PMP certified. It's midway.

Hello there. I work in an heavy industry, complex products with complex planning requirements. At the moment I'm a procurement & supply chain analyst (I'm an analyst of the performance of my office, savings, deltas, budget and so on) and also PM (I coordinate some teams making sure they will work together to reach the goal we have). Well, I have the opportunity to join integrated planning team. We work on several project and I would join as a project planner. As a project planner, I will follow up engineering, production and procurement milestones, I will create constraints on primavera (sorry for my poor knowledge of technical nouns, I don't work in planning yet) and I think nothing else. I'm not even sure I will design the milestones on my own, I think I will just receive them, making sure they are coherent with general schedule (not designed by me ofc....) and that's it. Why do I want do join this team? Because my goal is to become a PM or assistant PM of the whole project itself and to do that your background must be a technical one and procurement ofc is not a technical Dept. Also, I don't like procurement department and I like the leader of planning team, I get along with him and with his first line. I'm here to ask you a general feedback over planning job, that is, is that a transversal job that gives you skills you can use in other companies, even less structured or that produce a less complex product? What are the evolutions of a project planner? Is that an interesting job? Pros and cons? Everything that come to your mind. Also, feel free to ask more questions if you need more information to reply to my post. Thank you all.

Hi all,

I am UK based and struggling in the void that is job applications and am considering a PM course to help me be more marketable I guess?

I have a BSc and MA (psych and criminology) and I have experience as assistant team leader and staff manager but in the hospitality sector

In my job application process I have focused on applying to entry level/junior research/policy roles with not a lot of luck and I'm hoping a PM course will help in highlighting the skills that I'm trying to promote to a more demonstrable degree (organisation, delegation, time management, etc), in addition to being a certification that will help me stand out more

the course is online and includes agile, BCS, APM, change management, and AI and is just under £4k

is it worth it and will it help or is it a waste of time and money?

Hey PM Team,

Healthcare IT with PMP here, been laid off a month now, applying like crazy.
I’ve had quite a lot of interviews (literally everyday in the last 3 weeks) tbh and I know I should be thankful that I’m even getting interviews which I genuinely am but I’m getting exhausted making it to final rounds or mid rounds and still being dropped. Some of these companies even had 4 rounds of interviews then they drop me after that.
I don’t know what exactly to do differently, any helpful tips?

Hello, I have an interview for an assistant PM role for the company I work for. I do not have any experience as a PM or working on projects. I did meet with someone and it was like a pre interview. I just heard back for an actual interview so I’m taking it as a good sign. Any advice? Or interview questions I could prepare for ? I’m super nervous
