Hello PM community, I want to know from the senior PM people here how do you prepare for such senior roles at FAANG. I tried the Lewis C Lin's slack channel but most are junior PMs or grad PMs there, also found Exponent to be more inclined towards junior PM roles.
Is there any other platform where I can get interviewed by group PMs etc. or is it best to iust reach out 1:1.

Experience in AI/ML and Data Products

Any other resources would be really helpful

    It is unlikely that you will find the resources in those kinds of places. If you trust your abilities as a group PM, then find a decent product coach, pay through your nose and get the feedback. Before you go after that ki d of a role tho, make sure you have lots of experience with group mgr. Otherwise, they will downlevel you even if you succeed the interview.

      I began with my Bachelor's alumni on LinkedIn who is a VP Products at Here technology, turned out to be a dick. Looking to reach out to others. In the meantime I found a community group that helps to prepare for storytelling Moth .

    Prepfully has a lot of Senior PMs (10-20y experience). I did mocks with some of them. I had to email them and ask though, they dont share profiles publicly.

    I was thinking of going for exponent, but your feedback makes me think twice .. Is it more fit for junior pm instead?
    Been hearing that product alliance is not great either :/

      That's the case for me. My PM experience is highly inclined towards a specific area. Even when I was giving Sr PM interviews for Expedia, Reddit, Amazon, Twitter just a few months ago most of my rounds were on behavioral, current affairs in tech( AI/ML) and past experience. So not the typical pattern of PM that we see with these courses. I was looking for some help where i could practice articulating my stories and answers for counter questions.

    He's a senior level PM coach, maybe reach out to him, you can schedule a free 15-mins call with him here https://app.carrus.io/s/vishal-chaudhary-1
