Hello good people of Blind!

I’m a graduate of class of 2020 and also an analyst at an early stage VC firm.

I fell in love with product management in August and decided to pursue it by taking a Udacity Nanodegree. I have completed two projects so far to show evidence of work and I'm currently looking for opportunities to put my learnings into use.

I've applied to APM positions at FAANG to no success. Since I'm based in Africa, I'd be open to any local, remote and even international positions at big tech or startups.

I’d appreciate any advice, mentorship, or referrals that you’re willing to provide.

Happy to chat too😁!

Thank you in advance!

P.S: I'm out of DMs for the month. Please be kind to dm me, thanks.

    Stay in VC for a while in case you want to get back in. A lot easier to become a PM than enter VC world.

      @fang doing well as an analyst for a couple years, get an MBA from a top school (possible with VC since it’s so tough to break in) and follow that path.

      @HYgx14 that's my plan as well. Get some good VC exp, work in a high growth startup or established firm and then go for an MBA.
