Glen Willis was invited to discuss Recruitment trends in Product Management at this week's MENA Women Product Managers Guild webinar 💡💻 If you're not part of this community yet, we highly recommend joining! Whether you're currently in a role or exploring new opportunities, it can feel isolating at times. Engaging with other #ProductManagers not only helps you sharpen your skills but also reassures you that others are navigating similar challenges. While we discussed a lot during the session, here are some key takeaways: 🌟 Cross-functional skills in Product Managers, blending technical and business knowledge, are increasingly valued. SQL or Python is a plus, but understanding the business impact is key. 🔄 B2B SaaS experience is now more desirable than B2C. 🏢 Ecommerce and Retail dominate in MENA, with Edtech and Healthcare growing rapidly. 🧠 AI roles prioritize candidates with data-heavy product experience and data science skills. ☕ Networking is crucial in MENA; build genuine connections for career growth. 🏢 Internal company moves are often the easiest path into product roles. 📋 Product interviews vary; find common ground with your interviewer. A big thank you to everyone who joined! Special thanks to Shruti S Babu for her questions and POOJA VITHLANI for creating such a brilliant community. 👩🏽🤝👩🏼

Why is networking important in #Dubai? 💭 It keeps you in the loop about trends, market shifts, and what consumers in the UAE want. This knowledge guides smart product decisions and adjustments. 🧠 It gives you a chance to find out more about the culture, business practices, and rules that shape the market. It's essential for tailoring products and staying compliant. 🗣 Allows you to engage with peers, experts, and potential customers to refine your product ideas based on their input. This helps meet local market needs effectively. 🔍 It builds visibility and open doors to new job opportunities, promotions, and leadership roles. Learn from others and stay on top of industry best practices. And it's always nice to talk to someone with similar interests!! At Digital Gurus MENA, we believe strongly in the power of networking. That's why we sponsor and host many of our own events! Join us tomorrow (Wed 3rd) for a lively panel discussion: "Cheat Codes for a #Product Career in MENA: How to Reach the Next Level." featuring Glen Willis and Tony Pagliocco. 🗓️ 3rd July 2024 ⏱️ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm 👉🏻 Register now: https://lu.ma/vurtrdv1
