[@theresagbekia1284]

I am 23 year old. I don’t much influence or person to look up too. KZbin has been my mother and father/ friend and professional mentor. That’s how much I appreciate this video. Thank you💕🙏🏾

[@annthomas7869]

Great video. My first interview is this morning. Wish me luck. Your tips were very useful!

[@DorisClay]

Dang girl I never heard the job of a PM explained so well! Conductor of an orchestra, I will use that!

[@spartan99871]

I always appreciate original + insightful content. As a current PM Intern this was great to watch!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Please more PM videos, I'm starting a PM class and will start creating a portfolio to switch from my Customer Support role to PM. I need all the motivation I can get!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

I will consider it - I have one in mind that will come soon! :)

[@ibifurogeorge2093]

Wow! This is super helpful and here I was smiling although. You are a good teacher and I'm sure you will make a good mentor.

[@ZainabBawaMamush]

I appreciate this video. You did great. I’m currently taking a course in business analysis but I see myself as a product manager in the future.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

PM is certainly a very interesting topic. I also like that you give the parallel between PM and a conductor. You may have very talented musicians, but without a good conductor, they do nothing. So you are the key element to make your team work valuable. But it is a bit scary, what if you do a wrong move.

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes that analogy is so important totally changed the way I view the PM role

[@carolheinzig666]

conductor analogy really spot on

[@pri_mundo_afora]

I loved your video! Thank so much! I am from Brasil and I am Pm here, and all you said can apply in Brazil too!

[@carolheinzig666]

I just bought the 2 recommended books....thank you!!!

[@onetwentyfour]

This is a really fantastic video with great advice. I've seen a few videos about becoming a product manager and yours had the most valuable information to me. The tip about being critical of products let me know I already think like a product manager for fun and cemented that this is the direction I want to go. Thank you. I feel like down the line, I'm going to come back to this video and thank you again for where I am in the future.

[@AyvidAhsirht]

Thank you so much dear sissy for amazing and insightful content.. I wanna know about PM internships..

[@pangelingua8547]

Yep! SUPER HELPFUL! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! ☺️

[@kanomee]

It doesn't feel like watching a video from youtube, instead I feel more like a mentor giving me advices and motivating me to "go get it!!" This is VERY helpful, big time! I'm a industrial designer student, and i know very well how complicated it is to make a solution from a certain problem through design. These tips were very helpful and insightful for me to understand more how I should do things if I want to pursue my career in PM.

[@ikechiihemeson6023]

As someone with a deep music background, I LOVED your analogy 🙌🏾

[@ihartcara]

this was so good. thank you lol the linked in part I couldn't agree more

[@martinpuyou870]

Great video ! Thank you for these nice tips and infos !

[@claribelcasco7113]

Thank you for all the tips. I currently work for a tech company as a CX specialist but I am hungry for more and this gave me some actionable steps. Thank you

[@TheCbenne23]

[@BigEddySteve]

Thanks a lot Amara. This is so helpful and insightful

[@HansKim225]

this video is amazing!! i have an APM interview tomorrow and i've been prepping all week~ thanks so much for all your tips 🤩 also i LOVE your analogy of a PM to a conductor of an orchestra!! i've played in orchestras for most of my childhood and early 20s and i definitely had a eureka moment when you shared that!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

I'm so glad! Good luck :)

[@tes3bmw]

How did your interview go?

[@nonyeGemRuth]

Thank you for the depth yet concise. This is very Insightful. Worth adding to my TPM/PM Playlist. Looking forward to more videos.

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@mysacrednook]

I would love to learn more!

[@LanceLovesEverybody]

Great video Amara, your journey is definitely mirroring mine atm.

[@messymomandamomtobe4844]

Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information 🙂

[@HelloBdaily]

I’m in data now and I feel like product management may be a better fit for me because of my ability to orchestrate and communicate clear instruction/ need to action. However the dynamic between the PM and engineering team is still a blur to me. Are you managing PEOPLE? That’s what I really need to know. Are meetings typically ran by the PM or the collaborators? Are PM’s doing more listening than speaking? These details I find very important while considering switching roles…Great video!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

I am editing a video on this right now so hopefully it provides more clarification! PM's imo manage people, relationships, and products

[@antonesmith3516]

This was so helpful!

[@salonipal4887]

Love love love your originality about the product management💗💗💗💗

[@MsVinu1984]

Inspiring words and content

[@monstercupcake101]

Thank you so much for actually breaking down PM in a language I can understand. I have actually been looking into PM myself and wanted to know do you necessarily need a cert for PM?

[@priscillaofori2045]

Loved every bit of this! Keep it coming. We're learning a lot from you :)

[@dollaya8893]

Wow this is so helpful

[@briannaali]

This was amazing and so helpful. Thank you!

[@tonishataylor9065]

Thank you for this video! I’m making a career chance from clinical research/academic medicine to tech and was looking at PM Microsoft internships and thank you for the insight and explaining what it means. There’s so many roles in which I’ve never heard before!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HealWithWelaguementalhealth]

Hi, I am about to get into clinical research, if I may ask, what are some of the reasons of your living or switching? Thank you

[@yudhistiraadinugrahahutaba6797]

[@lalaheart76]

Hi Amara, thanks for tour video. Am new to Scrum. I have the PSM 1 and now looking to get unto Safe. I have some good knowledge with Safe but dont know if i should go for safe Scrum master or safe product owner. Would love to hear from you. Thanks

[@nitin_kaushik16]

You are a gem 😌😌

[@TheRealestIdealist]

🙏🏾PERFECT delivery with your communication in these videos! I used that same analogy on my resume😂(Before I saw this, I didn't copy, I swear!) Did you really get this position without any "experience"?? I'm applying for marketing manager after being self-employed for 10+ years, but I just might go after this position too and see what lands! Thank YOUUU!!!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

I am glad it helped :) I had an internship in the space before getting a full time role but other than that - I had no experience beforehand. I know a couple of people who have pivoted into this field with no experience and this has helped them.

[@fatoumatabintabarry4214]

This is literally the best explanation I’ve see so far on KZbin . 😍It was cristal clear 🔥🔥🤣🔥

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Omg thank you so much glad it helped! :)

[@elikplimwilson8915]

Soo Clear!

[@toonnaobi-okoye2949]

I use the exact same conductor analogy on my LinkedIn bio, haha!

[@AmaraAnigbo]

it is a great analogy! 😂💜

[@AlexandrBelobrov]

More pm content from you pleeeease❤

[@justinabenson7229]

Thank you for this video

[@Awhobiwom]

Thank you for this video ❤️ I just subscribed!

[@amar219]

Hi, Amarachi this is amazing,you just gained an organic follower🥰well my question is can i get a PM job without a degree? I have been taking course on Pm for months now but I'm not settled with this side.

[@DrNancyLi]

You vidieo is so relatable and funny (such as the Game of thrones music :). Did you edit your own video? I love the editing style. great tips regarding building product to gain experience and answered the most asked questions: do you need a tech degree~

[@AmaraAnigbo]

aww thank you so much this gave me the biggest smile :) I did edit it! I really enjoy the editing process. I am glad it helped you!

[@navrajsingh7389]

Love the vids!

[@knowmyhustle]

I feel like product marketing is a mystery to people too. It doesn't help that most people explain it terribly.

[@AmaraAnigbo]

Yes I totally agree! It another black box and I would love to see more content on what they actually do.

[@carintonou3514]

Thank you thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@phalou]

Thank you for this!!!!

[@otisstudios5848]

Hello Amara!! Thanks a lot for this. I am from Nigeria and I want to transition into the tech industry. I want to get into PM and I literally have no idea how to go about it. Please I really need your advice! Thanks a lot.

[@odiasejennifer1256]

Hello, where you able to learn please. Im also a Nigerian

[@quanghuytran7211]

3 words only: I love you

[@abiolasunmoni]

Thanks for sharing all this tips, I am in the process of transitioning, I would like to intern with you

[@JosephAdedeji]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MichelleAyana]

Great info! Thank you 💕 I have a background in accounting and finance and I want to transition into fintech. Any training /certification programs you think would be a good fit?

[@meebsbeans]

I also would love to know if you recommend any training or certification

[@rohitsai686]

HI, it was great to find your video while in search of my PM career hunt , i am just fresher have no experience , but i have innovative and problem solving and leadership skills , only thing i am lacking is no knowledge in technical tools . i am more interested in analysing and doing research about the issues than just developing the product, can you help me how can i start my journey to PM or APM from scratch?

[@itamarstollman4793]

great video

[@amEmris]

Thanks for the video, it was really helpful Just wanted to ask how do I intern for big companies abroad , just graduated from computer science with a Hnd upper credit it’s just been hard for me getting a job and I want to go into product management although I have some coding skills but I feel PM is my deal . am in Nigeria

[@Bobbyakinboro]

LOVE IT

[@AmaraAnigbo]

thanks so much Bobby💜💜

[@otherlauraospina]

Would you say that Project/Product Management Certificates, like from google, hold any weight when applying to jobs? Specifically, would it be beneficial for someone with a technical/coding background to get one of these certificates if they want to be a PM?

[@ojuolapebello8925]

hello, great video. i wanted to ask.... i have my first degree in architecture and i am trying to transition into product management. is it something i can do?

[@apalowoeniola9690]

Hello Were you able to transition?

[@AjahMila]

What about someone who doesn't have an IT/CS background ??
