More than 50% of PM jobs now assign homework.

In the current market, the companies most likely to hire are the ones who are most likely to hand out homework: growth stage, intense companies.

Use this 10-step strategy to rock your homework assignments: Image
Step 1 - Do One At a Time

You should try to focus your evenings & weekends on your homework assignment in the time allotted.

Else, you won't be able to differentiate from the pack.

So you should only say yes to homework for roles you really care about, vs any random role.
Step 2 - Get Advance Notice

Ask your first interviewer about the complete process.

If there's any homework, get usable components ready:

• Product vision
• Product strategy
• Top problems product solves
• Company’s go-to-market vision
• Co's high-level market segmentation

I had to interview 10 year SWE and 8 year PM Mario Di Nucci on this hot take. Here's what I learned.

There are 3 primary reasons why PMs in general are on the frontline for layoffs, alongside QA and recruiting:

1. Product is typically too layered
2. It’s challenging to quantify PM’s work
3. Most PMs are middlemen

So my question was: are there any solutions?

Here's what Mario answered: For 1 & 3 there are solutions, but they are still rare. The reasons are:Image
For 1 - being too layered - it can be overcome:

↳ Team just have to stay disciplined with ratios.
↳ Generally, a better PM:Eng ratio is something lean like 1:10.
↳ And in terms of layering, having a product leader for every 5 or so PMs makes sense.

"Trust is the key, so you cannot control what cannot be controlled. With proper OKRs system in place, you can synch teams across the company and making sure they are all performing (or maybe not) toward the same goals."
For 2 - hard to quantify - a clear solution doesn't exist:

↳ A PM shares most metrics, that they own, with other functions.
↳ Engineering has tickets, Market has budgets.
↳ PMs have...?

"Folks have proposed KPIs like conversion rate or user satisfaction to measure the work of a PM. According to my personal experience, these quantities are owned by multiple teams in the company, and maybe they are measurable successfully in the middle to long run. But, for sure, they cannot give the measure of what a single PM does."
