Looks like most of the resources here are either: 1. horribly out of date (who cares about 2019 info?) 2. thinly veiled self promo A bunch of the "mentors" are just people who recommend one resource, which is something that they themselves wrote. Many of these resources that are part of the mentor's "path" didn't even exist during the mentor's APM recruiting process. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a scheme to get more backlinks to people's sites, or pick up affiliate revenue. As far as the fundamental product idea — How does it make it easier to learn what to do to become a PM when you have over 150 links, many of which have contradicting advice? I wouldn't recommend this product to new PMs.

@kaylem_buckner ahh this is so unfortunate to hear and it's a shame the site didn't resonate with you! We appreciate the feedback, but do want to assure you (and other new community members) that we created APM Map with the intention to help out aspiring PMs on their often-unique recruiting journey. Given everyone's journey is not a "one size fits all", this even includes hearing what could be contradicting advice from old and new resources alike. APM recruiting has become increasingly competitive and we believe that knowing others in the industry, and the ability to reach out to them or learn more about what resources they have (or would have) used is incredibly valuable.

Hey everyone! Technical co-creator of APM Map 🗺️ here and I wanted to give a quick shoutout, introduction of who I am, and a bit about how this was built! First, echoing the sentiments of @musingsbymima, I truly want to thank everyone that's supported us in our journey thus far — creators for sharing their breadth of knowledge about APM recruiting and mentors for resonating with tons of aspiring PMs in this new community we've built. We truly appreciate you 🙏 As for me, my name is Jeff: QuestBridge / Columbia alum, current Software Engineer at Mailchimp, and aspiring creator (of not just code). From a technical perspective, APM Map is an optimized web application built using Gatsby, React, Material UI and Framer Motion. I've learned so much, truly enjoyed building this and am so excited to now share it with Product Hunt peeps 🎉 I'm super open to questions, feedback or even feature requests so comment away! And if you're curious, check out some of the code for this here: https://github.com/jf2978/apm-map

This is super cool, really well done Michelle! As someone who has just been through the process of applying to APM roles, I SO WISH that I'd had the APM Map. I have never found a true all-in-one resource like this written by someone who has just nailed the process themselves. Highly recommend 👏

Amazing Michelle and Jeff! I love the ability to filter resources by prep stage. I'll definitely be sharing this with everyone interested in A/PM internships I meet!
