Key Takeaways

1. AI PM jobs pay 30-40% more than regular PM roles - Group PMs make $360K-$600K, CPOs make $2M+. In 2025, 20% of PM roles now mention AI (up from 2% in 2023). The market is exploding and compensation bands are wider than ever.

2. Your resume's top 3 lines are everything - Recruiters spend 7 seconds scanning for Impact, Scope, and Recognizability. Template: "[X years] PM at [Google] | [2B users] | [Scaled revenue 50% YoY to $3.5B]." Pack your biggest wins and recognizable brands here.

3. Create a "bullet vault" then customize in 5 minutes - Use AI to transform your raw career dump into structured bullets covering all PM skill bundles. Use this master resume to tailor for each role by extracting 3-5 non-generic must-haves from the JD.

4. Cold applications get 1% callbacks, outreach gets 10-15% - The math: 30-100 apps → 3-4 callbacks → 1 interview. For every role, find the hiring manager, recruiter, and senior PM. Use ContactOut for emails. Message formula: 1 intro + 3 bullets + 1 CTA under 150 words.

5. Follow up on days 2, 3, and 5 - People miss emails. Persistence wins jobs. If no email response, send LinkedIn connection request. The golden age of PM networking is here: send 30 connection requests daily, comment on posts for 10X more reach than posting.

6. Use Whisper to brain dump at 200 WPM - Answer 24 career questions by speaking instead of typing at 120 WPM. Cover: projects, impact, obstacles overcome, tools introduced, people mentored. This becomes your career vault for both resumes and behavioral interview stories.

7. Behavioral interviews follow Hook-Principles-Action-Results-Learnings - Build 10-15 stories covering leadership challenges, stakeholder conflicts, failed projects, launches. Practice progression: Written first → Spoken → Timed (under 3 minutes). Feed to AI for refinement and probing follow-ups.

8. Case interviews are evaluated on 6 dimensions - Structured Thinking, User Focus, Product Sense, Prioritization, Communication, Creativity. Prompt AI: "You're a FAANG interviewer. Ask me ONE question. Rate 1-5. Quote my weak phrases, explain why they failed, give better approach."

9. Only apply when 50%+ aligned with the role - Extract non-generic must-haves from the JD using AI. Ignore "team player" fluff. Focus on: specific tech infrastructure, growth levers, scale requirements. Rewrite top 3 lines and stack rank bullets to match. Don't let AI fabricate experience.

10. Build your target company list strategically - AI prompt: "Create 50-100 companies ranked by fit. Consider: size (public/late-stage/early-stage), interests, geography." Keep broad. More interviews = better negotiation leverage. Focus on roles posted in last 24 hours. Most PM jobs still in SF Bay/Seattle.
