Hi all,
I have been applying for about 6 months for Program/Product Manager roles at FAANGMULA+ and everything else but have not got any positive response. I have redone my resume and seeking the community feedback to improve my resume further.
EDIT: Thank you to each and everyone of you who took the time to review and provide provide feedback. It provided a good reality check for me and helped me identify the areas that I need to work on, not just for the resume but also from a long term career perspective.
Cheers!!

PM 1 is Stanford undergrad CS, grad CS, grad Management Science and Eng. McKinsey, Microsoft PM, now here.
PM 2 is CMU CS, unicorn startup SWE/PM experience, other FAANG PM, now here.
PM 3 is IIT, other FAANG SWE, unicorn PM, here.
PM 4 is MIT CS, Microsoft PM, here.
PM 5 is top 5 LAC Econ, HBS Research Associate,
Peace Corps, M7 MBA, other FAANG, here.
Quite frankly I donβt see this resume hitting that bar. No experience in software, no gold plated schools or other experience, no PM background at all. Your best bet is Amazon Program Manager to non-tech PM- be willing to start at L5.
Also "Technical Skills: Office 365" is a HUGE red flag, but maybe thats the tech bubble speaking
OP, youβve got a lot in your resume, and the core of it looks pretty good. Now, try to eliminate what you can to make your resume as short as possible without removing any of that meat.
Then, if you find that you have too much white space, dig deep to find other major achievements that are tied to metrics, or try your best to integrate any other keywords that relate to your skills that prospective employers would like to see.
