For the Pune-based PMs here - I'm putting together a small, WhatsApp circle focused on sharing PM job openings and referrals within Pune, plus honest discussion on PM craft and AI.

Pune's PM community is scattered compared to Bengaluru, so the idea is a high-signal, local place to hear about roles and help each other out. Members are verified (name / role / company) before joining — PM-only, no recruiters, no spam, no self-promo.

If you're a PM working in (or moving to) Pune and want in, comment or DM me and I'll share details.

Hey Guys,

Thanks in advance

Hey folks, I'm the founder of an AI-powered shopping assistant app (70K+ downloads, revenue-generating) looking for an experienced Product Manager based in Chandigarh/Tricity.

What I'm looking for:

3+ years PM experience with consumer apps (B2C, high user volume)

Comfortable owning product end-to-end — roadmap, specs, execution

Based in Chandigarh or willing to work in-person

What's on offer:

Founding team role with meaningful equity (ESOP)

Direct ownership, no bureaucracy — you ship fast and own outcomes

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), drop a comment or DM me with your background.

So to be precise I am professional with 5 years of experience into sales and customer success and I want to learn and be a product manager. Searched alot of things

1. Get hired as an intern and I am ready to learn if someone teaches me from scratch however it should not be free while I am willing to work with their sales and marketing team as well so that I get paid. I am ready to learn from scratch if you can teach me

2. Buy a certification from Nextleap, product space or something like that with alot of promises but risky part because only getting is not what I am looking, this can be considered as last option not sure about it.

3. A lot of people will come to the comment section open YouTube and learn it by yourself you need to create a portfolio everything is there on YouTube. Bro I need a mentor, if would be able to do it on my own I would not have writing. So mentor are welcome to connect and teach me.

Want to learn and earn something good mentor, jobs or suggestions are always welcome.

Hello folks! I am a product manager( with 10 years of experience ) and looking for roles since my layoff.

Typically what do hiring managers expect when they ask “tell me about yourself “. Is there a framework recommended? I’ve heard advice from career coaches to keep the answer under 2 minutes which is really hard if the Hm’s intent is to understand inner details of how you made decisions leading to the product launch.

Any tips from hiring managers from your personal experience is greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi All 👋

The market is incredibly tough right now, and I’m doing my absolute best to find my next role. I’m an experienced Product Manager (8 years) looking for opportunities.

I’d be very grateful if you could please refer me to roles at your company. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck with submitting my app on the careers page 😔.

I’d also love to connect with you on a quick Zoom call if you have some time. We can chat about your team's culture, or just swap PM experiences.

If your company is hiring or you're open to connecting, please reply to this post or send a DM.

Thank you so much 🙏

I recently applied to a role in one of the tech companies. I had a decent match in terms of the job description and my profile.

Post receiving the rejection, I asked ChatGPT to evaluate my profile and the job description.

ChatGPT scored my profile - 9.5/10

I believe with that score, the least I expected was a conversation.

I had also asked an internal employee to refer me to the role.

Finally, I asked ChatGPT to explain with the available information why I didn't even get a conversation with the company, this is what it said:

"So if I restrict myself to the evidence available to us, I cannot produce a satisfactory, evidence-based explanation for why there wasn't at least an initial screening conversation.

That's the furthest I can go while staying grounded."

Nothing makes sense any more to be honest.

Moved from Brazil to Stockholm in late January, been job hunting for about 3 months. Still finding my footing — both in the city and in the market.

Background: Customer Success and Account Management for 8 years across martech, adtech, and B2B SaaS. EU work permit, fluent English, doing SFI.

I’m realistic about the market slowing down for summer and picking back up in August/September. So I’m using this time to get smarter before applications ramp up again.

Two tracks I’m running in parallel: CS/AM roles (more immediate), and entry-level PM/PO (the actual goal — I’ve been studying and taking courses to make the shift).

Specific things I’d love local perspective on:

**•**	CS/AM roles in Stockholm — is international experience valued, or is Swedish language a hard blocker at most companies right now?  
**•**	Entry-level PM with a CS background — is anyone actually hiring for this, or is it mostly mid-level and up?  
**•**	Any Stockholm-specific things about how hiring actually works here that took you by surprise?

Happy to give more context if helpful. Genuinely looking for the kind of insight you only get from people who’ve been through it here.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

I'm currently working as a Senior Project Coordinator at Deloitte USI in the Tax domain, and I'm planning to transition into Product Management, preferably in the FinTech industry. I would genuinely appreciate guidance from professionals who have made a similar transition or are currently working in Product Management.

A little about my background:

Graduation: B.Sc. (CBZ)

Post Graduation: MBA (Finance & Marketing)

Experience:

2 years as a Project Coordinator at EY

2.5+ years (currently) as a Senior Project Coordinator at Deloitte USI

I have a few questions:

What technical and non-technical skills should I develop to become interview-ready for FinTech Product Management roles? I'd appreciate guidance on what I should learn from scratch and in what order.

Could you recommend any courses, books, newsletters, YouTube channels, or other resources that genuinely helped you prepare for Product Management interviews?

How difficult is it to transition into Product Management without prior PM experience? What are the biggest challenges, and how can I improve my chances of making a successful switch?

If you've made a similar career transition, I'd love to hear about your journey, mistakes to avoid, and any advice you wish you had received when starting out.

Thank you in advance for your time and guidance. I truly appreciate any insights you can share!

So I have one more semester left in my Master's degree for CS. I want to try and become an IT project manager at some point. I know PM is not an entry-level role, but I want to be able to fast-track my way there.

The Situation
I currently have a summer internship (IT Project Manager Intern) at a retail company based in the DMV area. If they offer me a return offer, it would be as a part-time Project Administrator at $20/hour during school, which translates to a starting full-time salary of about $55k.
I know the pay will be very low, but I’m more about the experience and learning as much as I can in the beginning years. (Is $55k starting low?)
The Pros of Staying
The Culture: Everyone is very nice and I love the culture.
The Work: I am actually given important tasks as an intern. I help the team hit their bonus goals and also lead some heavy AI initiative projects, which I believe no other interns are doing.
Leadership Visibility: I get to speak directly with leadership and I think they all like me. Not to be egotistical, but I try to be nice and pleasant—just being a good person, really.
The Commute: I am only like 10-15 minutes from the office.
My Dilemma
Should I try and stay with this company and grow my knowledge, or look elsewhere?
My only concern is that the job market may be rough right now. Since I already have my foot in the door at this company, I feel like I should definitely just try to make this work.

I used AI to help format

Edit:
-Not DMV, it is Tri-State Area

My brother is a Senior Product Manager with 11+ years of experience across FinTech, InsurTech, and SaaS platforms. He’s been out of work since end of April and honestly the job market has been brutal — quality leads have been hard to come by despite active applications.

His background in brief:
Led a 200K+ user Super App, drove 40% MAU growth

Mobile app product ownership (iOS launch end-to-end)

API-first platform delivery across multi-country regulated environments

SAFe Agile governance, 300+ KPI dashboards, strong cross-functional stakeholder management

AI/GenAI product execution with enterprise adoption

ET CIO Forum Enterprise IT Excellence Award (2025)

He’s based in Pune, open to remote, hybrid or onsite, and can join immediately.
If anyone works at — or knows someone at — companies like Mastercard, Barclays, FIS, Avalara, Zendesk, Zoho, or any FinTech/SaaS product company in Pune and could pass along a referral or even a warm intro, it would mean a lot.
DM if you’d like to connect on this directly.

Thanks in advance, Pune folks. 🙏

Has anyone made the jump from B2B -> B2C? I have a few questions for you.

Problem:
I spent 4years at a B2B startup working on platform + agentic systems. I recently left & am full-time trying to pivot towards consumer products. However, it seems that my skillset is not appetizing to a lot of consumer companies. In the last few weeks I spun up a side project to try to gain some experience, however, I'm curious if there are other tactics I should invest in.

Questions:

1. What kind of company did you come from -> what kind did you transition to?
2. How did you make that jump? Side projects? Heavy networking? Did your B2B experience translate to a specific role?
3. Any advice for someone that has A LOT of time to dedicate towards pivoting?

Guys , plz help me out with this , need referral for product management role i qualify the basics with 3yoe as an sde in product and btech in cse plus mba.

Referral can increase my chances, currently a consultant at accenture s&c

The GTM stack has become a product - and the market is now hiring for the person who manages it as one.

The title hasn’t settled yet. GTM Systems PM, Revenue Tools PM, Technical PM for GTM, IT PM for GTM - different labels reaching for the same shape. What’s underneath is identical across all of them.

This person treats the internal revenue system as a product. GTM operators are their users. They ship through PRDs and roadmaps. They measure success through revenue impact and adoption. They land changes through change management, not tickets.

It’s PM + GTM Engineering + RevOps compressed into a single role. The market just hasn’t agreed on what to put on the business card yet.

Anyone else observing this?

I've been experimenting with a few AI wireframe tools recently, and the speed is genuinely impressive.

Generating an initial wireframe from a prompt is one thing, but what I'm really curious about is how these tools perform once stakeholder feedback starts coming in.

Most projects go through multiple rounds of revisions, changing requirements, and new feature requests. That's usually where the real work begins.

Ideally, I'd like a tool where I can describe changes in plain language and have the wireframes evolve without rebuilding large sections from scratch.

For those using AI wireframe tools regularly, have they become a meaningful part of your workflow, or are they still best suited for quick concepts and early ideation?

How well do they handle iteration compared to traditional design tools like Figma?

​

Not gonna lie, I'm getting a little frustrated.

​

I've been applying for Associate Product Manager, Product Analyst, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Product Operations, and Founder's Office roles across Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, and Remote.

​

I've worked in startups, worked directly with founders, managed projects, handled stakeholder communication, product execution, operations, and have a technical background as well.

​

Yet somehow my daily routine has become:

​

Apply → Hope → Follow Up → Ghosted → Repeat 💀

​

So I'm trying Reddit now.

​

If anyone knows of any openings, referrals, hiring managers, startup founders, or companies looking for someone in Product, Project Management, Business Analysis, Operations, or Founder's Office roles, I'd genuinely appreciate any leads.

​

Also, if you're a founder building something interesting, drop your startup name and what you're working on in the comments. I'd love to connect, learn more about your journey, and see if there's any way I can contribute.

​

And if you can't help directly, an upvote would genuinely mean a lot. It costs nothing, helps this reach more people, and maybe gets it in front of someone who's hiring.

​

At this point, I'm networking harder than I'm sleeping. 😭

​

Thanks everyone. 🙏

Been talking to a lot of people in the PM job market lately and everyone seems stuck at a different stage. Some can't get interview calls at all. Some get the calls but go quiet after a round or two. And a lot of folks switching from another domain are struggling to actually crack the interviews.

Curious where most of you are stuck right now. What's been the more painful part for you, getting the calls or clearing the interviews? And have you found anything that actually helped fix it, or are you still struggling with it?

I received an offer letter to start a Product Manager Entry Level Hiring position at IBM: the position starts in a couple of months, Aug, and I have already accepted it. I am excited to begin my journey at IBM!

However, the interviewer did not ask anything about sponsorship and they sent me an offer after 3 weeks without any visa sponsorship or salary discussion, with the current the market conditions, I was wondering if any of you think if there can be any offers being rescinded due to "business needs".

I tried to search the internet for examples of offers being rescinded and could only found one particular case, so it seems that is quite rare assuming that more people would post it online.

I have an additional question: Should I call my hiring manager and talk about this or just wait, until they get back to me ?

I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Lately I've been seeing more discussions and job postings focused on AI Product Management, and I'm trying to figure out how different the role really is from traditional PM work.

At a high level, a lot of the responsibilities seem familiar: customer research, prioritization, roadmap planning, stakeholder management, experimentation, and delivering value to users.

The obvious difference is working with AI capabilities and constraints, but I'm curious how much that changes the day-to-day reality of the job.

For those working in AI Product Management, do you need a significantly deeper technical understanding than a traditional PM? Are there new frameworks, metrics, or decision-making processes that become important when building AI-powered products?

What skills have turned out to matter most, and what does the role actually look like in practice?
