Demand and supply mismatch
Ask Anuj R
Honestly nothing is wrong, you must be doing something wrong. Analyse where the problem lies.
- Not enough job openings?
- Not relevant openings?
- Not getting calls?
- Not able to convert? (Skill mismatch or competition)
- Not able to command desired pay?
Check where the problem lies (according to you), use Chatgpt for advice (it works better than expected).
For me I was facing facing problem for months with 3rd but I improved my resume and Linkedin. Getting calls from almost all companies I apply now and being reached out by Hiring managers on Linkedin without applying.
Pro tip: Competition is cut throat, you need to stand out. Prepare a 3-4 slide ppt with clean and good visuals. You can present this when interviewer asks for your introduction or work experience. This probably might not be relevant for Junior or mid roles. slide 1: Your Experience in Product, mention year when you joined "XYZ" and just product skills (use a roadmap structure) => professional journey slide 2: Your domain expertise, lets say AI/ML products. You have domain expertise and experience, your journey can include personal interest in the domain as well slide 3 : If its a consumer app, provide some improvements which can be implemented with min. efforts and might have high impact. Do not suggest big changes. slide 4: What do you bring to the table : Product ownership - Onboarding, activation, retention, monetisation or all? Strategic contribution to BD, Socials, Marketing, sales etc

Sometimes, the best decisions come from tough experiences. Due to challenges in my recent project and salary concerns, I have taken the bold step of resigning from TCS without an offer in hand. I am currently serving my last month of notice period and actively exploring new opportunities in Product roles.
With 6+ years of experience in Creative services specialist, Database Management, Infotainment Test Engineering, Agile Practitioner and Product & Project Management in IoT, Education, CBG verticals, I am looking for roles where I can leverage my expertise while continuing to grow in Product based roles with Product companies and Startup's.
