AMA: PM with 3.5 YoE , 40L TC , Tier 2 BTech

I got in despite of being from tier 2 , it wasn’t easy

path u followed, dear?

Thanks buddy.

1. I have more experience on growth side but want to have a generalist role. I have done non-growth stuff as well.
2. Data and insights are valued , NSM comes from the top such do we need to drive DAU or Retention or Revenue etc.
3. We do surveys/ interviews

What is growth stuff?Can you be a more specific.PS: I am new to the domain of growth PM.

Pray tell how do I get a job by this AMA? 😂

Woah. You are a prime example of how people's salaries got boosted in tech ecosystem in 2021. That 150% 🦘

My path was Marketing > Growth > Product . I’ve worked in InMobi before SC and another startup.

Internal switch is the easiest path , try to get product responsibilities in current role.

Don’t think that is an option in a service based company, should switch to a product one first

No MBA , BTech from a tier 2 college . I got an opportunity to work on some product projects while in marketing and loved it so tried to get more. Eventually got a full time product role in another company.

You also said you ran a startup, when was this in the timeline?

I do. They have a solid PMF. Dhanda projections se thoda kam accha chalra hea due to slow market recovery.

Not being poached as such. I didn’t do any formal courses , just some free ones on YouTube to have a more formal understanding of the role and lingo, I also did pm stuff while being in a business role .
