The Top 5 Things I'm Looking for When Hiring a Product Manager

About this session

When I first became a product manager, even I wasn't really sure what it truly meant to be a product manager. 10 years have passed and still, every organization is tailoring its product manager suit in a completely different shape and size. So if there isn't a clear definition of "what a product manager is?", how will you know if you're the perfect fit for the job, and even more importantly- if the job is the perfect fit for you?

In this chat, I want you to walk away with:

  • Actionable steps you can take to identifying your personal PM strengths
  • Real-life examples you can leverage in your next PM interview
  • A clear understanding of what your career path as a PM could look like from here on! (even if you haven't started yet...)
