Any PMs here that can share how the product group in Airbnb is, what skill sets do they look for while hiring? Is it required to have payments , hospitality industry experience or coding knowledge?

    We do minimal external hiring of PMs now. Many of the new PMs transferred from engineering or design. Having a technical PM is a fucking godsend. Makes your life amazing as an EM or IC

      What kind of engineers are transferring? As in years of experience, things they've worked on, etc. And what's the process like for that?

      What are the latest trends for Airbnb? I'm interested in something customer support or host related.

    Not every PM has a technical background, and I only know a handful of PMs who've previously worked in the travel/hospitality industry. You probably won't get an interview if you're a recent college grad or not senior enough.

      I'm not sure they have associate roles for PMs :/

      Airbnb doesn't hire recent grads or junior positions in R&D outside of engineering.

      I'm curious about this would they look at amount of things you've shipped from ideation to launch and scaling in the time you've worked and evaluate the skills required or look at years of experience? I've been an eng and a PM and launched/grown equivalent of what people with 5-6 years of experience at work normally have done in an extremely ambiguous/technical domain that is emerging, but worried I'll just get rejected for being a few years out of college
