⚡️‼️ Real Story Alert 🚨 Keep a positive mindset no matter the experience. Over the years, I’ve interviewed for various product management roles and had some unforgettable experiences—both good and bad. One particular interview served as a reminder that we all run into frustrating situations, but it’s crucial not to get discouraged. Keep learning, stay sharp, and keep moving forward! 💪✨ In this case: • The interviewer joined the meeting 17 mins late. 🕰️ • The interviewer, a Head of Product, was distracted, chatting with others while introducing himself 🤦♂️. • Midway through my introduction, he asked me to pause to respond to an email ✉️. • In the remaining 10 mins we had left where we could have had a real chance of any discussion, instead of relevant product questions I was given a data interpretation problem that required me to check many permutations and combinations, which he asked me to note down on a paper and solve it in those 10 mins as he had another email to write! 😅 Funny enough, this Head of Product had no prior product management experience or any connection to the field—just a shiny new IIM badge. 🎓🤷♂️ It’s a good reminder that not every interview will go well, but don’t let those experiences discourage you. Stay focused on growth and keep pushing forward! 🚀 #JobHunting #InterviewFails #ProductManagement #GrowthMindset #KeepPushing #KeepTryingKeepDaring💪🏼💪🏼

Learning the next level --> Learn a skill - communicate about it - teach it   2. Contributing at the next level --> Don't let anything stop you from operating at the next level!   3. Understand the big picture --> Make opportunities to build relationships This week's newsletter covers how product managers can use patience to guide their long-term career vision.

Day 21 of my 2months streak with Jamiu Oyewo Title: "Adaptability: The Key to Thriving in Product Management" One of the biggest lessons I've learned in my product management journey is the importance of adaptability. No matter how well you plan, unexpected challenges are inevitable—whether it’s shifting timelines, new priorities, or evolving user needs. Being adaptable means embracing these changes, finding opportunities within them, and staying focused on the bigger picture. In my current role at Rankingamani as a Product Manager intern, I’ve had to pivot strategies and make quick decisions when things didn’t go as planned. Instead of seeing these moments as setbacks, I’ve learned to view them as growth opportunities. Adaptability isn’t just about responding to change—it’s about thriving in the face of it. How do you handle change in your career? Let’s share insights and grow together. #ProductManagement #Adaptability #ProblemSolving #CareerGrowth #Leadership #Resilience #LearningMindset #PMJourney #GrowthMindset #BusinessStrategy

What training course should I choose? Which certification should I go for? These are some of the questions that I get more often from mentees and aspiring PMs. Last week was busy with an Altar.io hosted Product Management Society event and a 3 day Mega Product Weekend Career Accelerator event filled with great speakers, mentors and aspiring PMs and Leaders. Here are my thoughts on some of the most common PM Urban Legends I usually get in these conversations. #Training #certifications #productmanagement #growthmindset

Summer Internship Diaries with Pranav 🌟 Part 4: How to Prepare for Product Management Roles 1) Building a Strong Foundation Start with the Basics: Begin by watching introductory videos on product management. PM School on YouTube is an excellent resource for beginners, offering insights into the role of a PM, key responsibilities, and essential skills. Understand PM Frameworks: Get acquainted with critical PM frameworks like CIRCLES, RICE, and Lean Canvas. These frameworks will be your guiding tools during case interviews and real-world problem-solving scenarios. 2) Deep Dive into Product Management Concepts Exponent for Product Management: Once you’re comfortable with the basics, deepen your knowledge by exploring resources on Exponent. Exponent provides comprehensive lessons on various PM topics, interview preparation, and mock interview experiences. Start with a solid foundation by reading casebooks like those from SPJIMR, IIM B, or IIM A. Begin with one type of case—such as Product Design—read 4-5 cases, and then practice with a friend using additional resources from IIM L or FMS. Focus on covering all six key case types: Product Design, Product Improvement, Product Launch, Pricing Strategy, Metrics and KPIs, and Root Cause Analysis. Build your basics in 15-30 days depending on your time, and ensure consistent practice to refine your approach. Start with guesstimates as well practice 1-2 cases on side with case studies. Step 3: Advance Your Skills with Real-World Scenarios Practice from IIM A,B and L case books. Mock Interviews and Feedback: Engage in mock interviews with peers or mentors using these case studies to simulate real-world scenarios. Step 4: Apply Your Knowledge Real-world Application: Engage in product critique exercises, build a portfolio of case solutions, and continuously iterate on your approach. Next up in the series, I will discuss preparation strategies for cracking FMCG roles at top companies. Stay tuned and follow for regular updates!
