Student realizing that TPM/Product roles are not entry level positions. Need advice.

For context:

- Upcoming Junior in 5 year degree

- School in Canada that isn't a "target" (Carleton University), but lots of recent big tech hires, pathways to Networking Companies (Ciena, Nokia, TrendAI), Kanata North Tech Park, Shopify

- Completed 3 internship terms in TPM, upcoming year in Product Management internship @ Fortune 50 Company

I am starting to undergo the realization that TPM, Program, Product Management isn't really a junior career path. I have had success at my internships and would feel confident in being able to come back (based on my own hunch + conversations with management), but I almost have never worked with a New Grad on these teams.

Despite being a Computer Science and Business major, I'm not sure if my technical skills are good enough to be a SWE or something like that. A thought that I've had is going into Data and then getting into Management (data interests me), but I have no qualifications or knowledge for those positions. I don't even know the difference between Data Analysis, Science, and Engineering.

As my resume and skills continue to get more and more product and project management focused, I'm kind of unsure on what to do. Do I completely pivot to getting other types of internships (maybe a step down in terms of name/reputation of companies), or do I just hope I can get into some sort of APM program.

Any advice is appreciated.

What is Jalen Duren’s contract looking like after these playoffs?

He’s most likely going to be a All-NBA player this year, which is deserved considering he was a monster this year. Even when Cade was out of the lineup he was creating, scoring, it looked good.

Now in the Playoffs it’s like I’m watching someone completely different. Hell he can’t even get rebounds anymore let alone provide anything on offense. His defense also looks back to the form from last postseason which wasn’t great.

Has he lost himself 100 Million? Or am I just overreacting here??? Will Detroit just give him a super max because he probably will demand it.

I was listening to Poch talk about Neymar today during his podcast with the Overlap (BTW should stop talking about Neymar or football in general), and his words really irked me.

I know the consensus around the superstar era (MNM) was that it was a failure performance-wise, but tactically that first year was horrid.

He used to play Mbappe centrally and dropping deep, with a 34 year old Messi and Injury-Prone Neymar as runners (Touchline Wingers even). Just as a tactical setup there was a lack of cohesion and he didn't play to anyone's strengths.

Even Galtier, who I don't rate at all for political and footballing reasons, achieved success, especially with Neymar, playing him centrally and letting Messi play in the half spaces.

I still feel as though until Enrique, Tuchel was the best fit and should have been kept at the club.
