Hi Blind community, Posting in hopes to get some guidance and direction in my quest to move to a product company as TPgM. I come from a business/ data analyst background and now a TPgM in a small healthcare company. I have led company wide initiatives; being a non-tech company, the technical aspects of most programs involve system integrations and related tasks like data conversion, system changes, ETL pipelines. In past few months, I have been rejected my many companies on technical grounds. Initially I would get a reject in phone screen and now in loop. At two places I was given the feedback to apply for Program Manager or Product Manager roles but the recruiters are no more as responsive now. My prep involves 1. stories in STAR format and I feel I have made progress on that 2. System design- I have got better at the concepts but I still take too much time in functional and non-functional requirements which I will attribute to lack of practice. Some of the things I am really good at professionally are 1. Understand the business and keep the bigger picture in mind 2. Come up with initiatives and new projects 3. Self-motivated (though with this phase I am finding it hard now) and able to lead with no/ little direction. I have always been a high performer and don’t feel challenged enough. All I need is a foot in the door. I want to make the switch asap. How should I focus my prep and get interview calls?
