Spent 3 months interviewing here for technical product manager roles. Intervjewed 8 companies(didn’t mass apply), had 4 final round interviews. Each time came close but didn’t get job. An interviewer mentioned that since I don’t have west coast startup expeience the bias is that I might not be able to work as fast as people here do. Heck I was working full time and masters and internship at one time. I can’t blame companies. What can I do to overcome this real or perceived gap: this is in big data and ml product manager. Meantime relocating to a great consulting job in the Midwest but would love to move back out to the Bay Area. Thanks for the advice.

Asians - what are your thoughts on asian female white male ?
Your consulting gig should change the perception. Depending on whether it is in the same area -ML or AI, you might be able to use the contacts/clients from the consulting to land your next opportunity. However, getting 8 rejects is kind of alarming. Talk to some career coach to see if it is somethig to do with your softskills that need a change, namely your speech or mannerisms etc. Goodluck and finally - dont let the recruiters’ feedback bog you down. Screw those guys! You are your boss!
Thank you.. I never thought of that but you are right. It is 8 rejects and alarming...hmm.. I know I have a bit of an imposter syndrome that comes out when interviewing. And I don’t handle questions when I’m missing some experience Well. I need to learn to interview better., since i have done this and more complicated work before. Thanks for the feedback...
