Oh wow, we didn't know that the sound effects sound different in headphones versus computer speakers, good to know! We'll keep this in mind for future videos!
This was an amazing video thank you. I recently started as a Program Manager with a Project manager background. And you’re video helped me so much. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to compliment us! It means a lot. Congrats on making the moving from project to program management. Any success tips you'd share with others who are trying to make the move?
@@CoachErika sure mam, it would be helpful if you create more videos on Project management related stuffs. Various methodologies like Agile, scrum like wise :) . I feel interesting when you teach 😁
This was the best video I saw about this subject. You talk so confidente about that I follow all the words. One question is. How the company know how budget is necessary for a program? Because with a project everything is calculated. In program I don’t have this view.
That's the thing about programs. The projects within them may have budgets, but when a company commits to a program, it's implicitly committing to a long standing effort, for example a learning and development program or a sales enablement program.
great video! I just started as a TPM a few months ago, with a project management background, but I don't have any mentorship or real understanding of the TPM role. This is very helpful!!
We have excellent TPM mentors on Pocket Board who would love to mentor you on a regular basis! We find that people always want help from a mentor to get the job, but they also benefit tremendously from an outside perspective to help navigate daily job challenges. The best part is that most employers have learning stipends that will cover some or all of the costs of mentorship!
Thank you for sharing!! One of the best explanation! Just curious can a product manager be a program manager? What will the main differences in the role?
Some product managers will have the tasks of a program manager (especially early career PMs), and most of them don't like it because this means less time with users and less time spent on product strategy. These roles couldn't be more different in focus, even though they both involve a strategic skill set. The PM skill set is all about building products that solve user issues; the PgM is focused on the work systems and processes that deliver that product to users.
@@CoachErika Few thoughts: 1) In your videos, you are giving examples from your career as answers to interview questions. Is it any tips on how to revise my work experience to find examples I can use during the interview? 2) You also emphasize the importance of giving structured answers. Maybe you can advise a way how to train yourself to give well-structured answers? 3) Maybe any tips about how to make a CV to attract Google's attention. Especially interesting what to do if your career isn't so long. 4) Maybe you can share hiring "red flags". I mean "what you should avoid doing during the interview"
@@antondesyatov9571 great questions! (1) our founder Erika tells candidates to do an interview prep activity that she calls Walking Down Memory Lane. We don't have a video of her talking about this yet, but the short of it is that you need to think of 3-5 major projects that YOU owned over the last 2-4 years of your career. Refresh your memory on all the details, from why the project existed strategically to how you got involved, success criteria, what happened along the way (good / bad / planned / unplanned), how it went (results, quantified), and what you learned. Recency and scope matters at FAANG. Book a session with her to learn more, or come to her live AMA on Wednesday at 10am PT and ask more! (2) as a start, watch our videos on how to answer behavioral questions using the STAR++ method. The vast majority of interview questions are behavioral, so once you learn this framework, you're off to a good start. There are also frameworks that you should learn for role specific questions like system design for EMs and SWEs or product design for PMs, but those might require 1:1 mentoring to dive into. (3) resume advice to get noticed by FAANH: have an objective at the top, don't keyword cram, get rid of the skills section of you have one, quantify your results, less than 2 pages with whitespace and at least 10pt font, no photo. There's a lot more to it than that, but it's a good starting point. (4) check out the FAANG interview process videos on our channel. There's a whole segment in each video that talks about red flags with recruiter conversations in particular, and how to avoid them
