About this listen

Meet Yolanda - She's a SPRINT alum who leveraged the program to land her first official Product Manager title after nearly 10 years working in and around software teams. She's one of the kindest, most ambitious Product Managers I know and it was a joy to reconnect with her. 🫶

If you're trying to transition into Product Management or you're on the job search for your next Product role, this is a must listen episode.

We talk about:

  • How she transitioned into the tech industry (from being an EMT! 🚑)
  • How building automations at US Bank was a gateway to Product
  • Navigating a windy career path of Product-adjacent roles
  • Her job search by the numbers (160 applications -> 3 final rounds -> 1 offer)
  • The importance of networking and LinkedIn in her job search
  • Highlights of the job search, interview process, and offer negotiation
  • Her advice for job seekers in this market
  • The ups and downs of starting a new job
  • Setting goals, staying accountable and building strong trust in a new role
