The amount of times you said "go ahead" was hilarious đđ But on a serious note, this video was a goldmine...thank youuuuu!!
Rich this is a gold mine of information in less than 20. Thanks so much for that. I just signed up for a GA Product management cert so not the best use of my time per your video, but will definitely try my best to focus on case studies. And will definitely be reaching out to you as I move through the program and head towards the finish line.
This is so good. Thank you for all these tips Rich. It's 4pm on Saturday where I'm at and I have an interview on Monday. Let me go do some case studies.
Awesome tips, Iâve been binge watching the videos! Please, do make that video about how much to expect as a first-time PM salary wise, it would be super helpful
Thank you for your support! You can check out our video on everything you need to know about PM salaries here: czcams.com/video/7Z0hPsNqj08/video.html
This is extremely,rich,authentic and clear explanation. Thank you đđœ
Thanks for commenting and for the compliments! Glad you found it helpful :)
Exceptional tips, thank you.
Our pleasure! Thanks for commenting :)
Very useful video, Got confidence and encouragement.
We're so glad to help you feel encouraged! Thank you for commenting :)
Love this video Rich. If I could offer feedback is that I would love if you had timestamps or embedded chapters so I can skim through when im recapping or revisiting the content. Thanks again :)
Thanks for commenting Lance! This is a great suggestion; I'll add those timestamps now :)
Great Information...Thank You
we're happy to help :) thanks for the comment!
Is it worth to go in pm in 2023 ai geb
I studied 1,000âs of questions in the army. I can remember them. Lol. I like the idea of doing case studies. What sites would you recommend for intro to case studies? Iâm finishing my last four classes in business administration. I have five years in manufacturing as operations and maintenance management. I believe that I have skills that translate over based on this video. What sites would you recommend besides your own for case studies?
Thanks for commenting, Patrick! It sounds like you're well set up for a transition into product management. When it comes to case studies, we definitely think the best way to learn and improve is by doing, and really immersing yourself, rather than by studying. We do have a bank of case study question prompts on our blog and some examples on our CZcams channel, but other than product gym, Exponent is great, and many of the instructors here at PG recommend Product Hunt (www.producthunt.com/) for getting immersed in the product management space! Hope this helps :)
How to deal with Qs related to PM subject like Prioritization, Strategy if we donât have enough experience in PMgt ? But they still ask those Qs
This is a great question!
Always speak with confidence even if you have no experience in those areas. And make sure to do your proper research on the role youâre going out for.
When there are gaps like the ones you mention, try to draw on parallel experiences where youâve had to deal with similar contexts. Frame your past experiences in a way that will be relevant to what your interviewer is asking you to avoid the dreaded âI donât knowâ.
In the end, it all comes down to practice. So the more you interview and answer questions you have little experience about the better youâll get at answering them!

Do you have any recommendations on where I can get some good case studies so I can practice?
thanks for commenting! Definitely a few things we can help you with in terms of case study practice: first off, I'd recommend checking out our Case Study playlist (czcams.com/play/PLmegXNYMvUjOj9aOxjt14UaBtRTT_UnfK.html) as there are a few videos that solve specific prompts that you can work alongside for practice, as well as some great tips and resources unpacked in other videos there :) But also, if you're after a list of case study prompts, we created a free resource for that too! Here it is: bit.ly/3S8VBtZ These prompts were shared by Product Gym members from real case study interviews. Hope this helps!
Yes helps a lot!
Can you recommend any channels where i can find a case study Buddy?
hey Yashada, thanks for commenting! We definitely recommend surrounding yourself with a community of like-minded peers who will help support you as well as hold you accountable on your job hunt. That's one of the foundations of our program: our community is especially valuable when it comes to cracking down on case studies. If you're interested in having that strong support system, I would definitely recommend reaching out to our admissions team to see if the PG community is a fit: productgym.io/schedule/
Hi I just watched your video and it was very informative, can I get such a job from Nigeria?
Thanks for commenting, Pat! It is definitely possible to get a PM job from Nigeria. Rather than your location, the biggest factor is going to be your work history/professional background, and your mindset. If you want to chat more about that, give us a call! Once we hear a bit about where you're coming from professionally, we can help you out with more tailored advice :) Find a time that works for you here: productgym.io/schedule/ or shoot us an email!
@@ProductGymPM Hi, finally I was able to send you a mail but was told you are unable to support customers from my region. How else do I go about getting the job?
hey Pat! As much as we would love to, Product Gym isn't able to help everyone. We would recommend making the most of the free resources out there; you can find plenty of strategies, tips, online webinars, and templates available for free on our channel here, on our blog, and as downloadable docs from our site! Hope this helps :)
Has anyone landed a PM job with Product Gym?

@@ProductGymPM Hey, your website doesn't work.
SSL certificate expired since June 2022. :)
@@hermanng4315 yes it does work.
I am in my 3rd year of bachelor's and want to land a job. I don't have any experience or internships can i be able to crack the pm job
Thanks for commenting! As a fresh grad, there are a few different paths that you can take to get into product management, like going after an internship first, the APM route, or going straight for a PM role. Which one is right for you going to vary greatly on your existing skillset, work experience, and a whole lot of other things... there's no *one* right path! If you want to chat about this with a coach, I'd definitely encourage you to schedule a call with us :) (productgym.io/schedule/) we can get you much more fitting, tailored advice once we know a bit more about your specific situation. I hope that helps! - Mack
@@ProductGymPM I can schedule a call but yours timing compared with Indian standard time is very odd .
It says early morning 4 AM
Can you provide anything else ??
Hi! Sorry for the late reply here; I must have missed the notification. We do actually have a separate contact system for aspiring PMs in India, because we know the timing for everything will be quite different. Check out our contact page from here: productgym.in/ I think these times will make way more sense for you :) Hope this helps! - Mack
Iâll cappp Startups arenât hiring people with no experience that would counter intuitive
