TL;DR: Got laid off in 6 months because CEO decided he doesn't want to build new products anymore. Looking for referrals for product roles (Austin/remote). --- I joined a small B2B SaaS company in Austin 6 months back as a sr product manager to help build new B2C products. I worked with the CXOs to build product launch strategy, while also managing the current B2B product suite. Two days back the CEO (who is also my manager and the company owner) called me and said that he’s getting cold feet and no longer wants to build new stuff. He fired me while simultaneously saying that I had done a great job and that I could use him as a reference. I’m turning to this community hoping to get references to mid-size and large companies. It sucks to be constantly job searching, but I guess it is what it is. Thankfully I am not on a visa, so it's not as bad. Currently I have interviews lined up for Rackspace, Experian, Google and two Austin-based companies. --- I’m hoping to talk with companies with an established product department, and which have an idea what they want to do. I’d really appreciate referrals. Some companies I’m targeting are below, but I’m open to any mid to large size Austin/remote company. Don’t have an appetite for startups currently. #microsoft #indeed #salesforce #dropbox #visa #atlassian #expedia #ea About me: - total tech experience 12 years (6 dev + 6 product); MS-CS - entrepreneur (founded and successfully launched a fintech company last year); - have built multiple SaaS products and am deeply data driven (building data infra/pipelines/visualizations/statistical analysis). Happy to give details if needed. --- Thanks a lot everyone for reading! I’ve come to appreciate the community on blind at times like these. #referral #product #jobhunt #software #austin
