Came to US few years ago, through inter-company transfer to build a career in product management. Realizing that in my current company the role is more about ego/stakeholders/powergames management. People would call me pretty accomplished within the company (3 promotions in 6 years, leading a product suite with highest profitability and millions of users) but I feel stuck and lost. I can’t say no to ‘business’ feature requests. Just grinding in a feature factory where PMs are to just take the blame and keep writing requirements for dev to deliver. No ownership of outcomes. Heck the outcomes are not even measured beyond macro metrics like revenue, retention etc.
Got an #amazon L7 loop rejection today. I wasn’t at the level that they were expecting. I could clearly see my lack of actual product management experience. It’s been a rough day...got an #microsoft informational round rejection too. This one felt more terrible because I felt the interviewer was quite impressed. Had a #facebook #instagram loop rejection last year.
Blind community - Do your thing. Tell me how I can get out of this? My general working hours are 10-12 hrs each day. But I am not happy with intellectual, professional and career growth. I don’t feel like I am learning anything new or making any impact. Would love to get suggestions on how to turn this around and find a role where I can learn and grow in product management role.

You’d be a great fit at Amazon.
I’d consider it bad luck. Figure out where you think you could have presented your skills better and try again. Lots of great places to do product management outside of Amazon and Microsoft.
