APM Map

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 horribly out of date (who cares about 2019 info?) 2.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.

Hey friends! 👋 Hope you've been taking lots of care ❤️ After working on APM Map 🗺️ for the past five months, Jeff & I are so excited to finally share it with the (Product Hunt) world 🌏 APM Map 🗺️ is the result of my journey into Associate Product Management (APM) - a.k.a. one of the hardest recruiting cycles I ever had to go through. After reflecting on my many interview failures & rejections, I realized that my life would've been 10x easier if I had all types of APM interview prep resources in one place for easy access & discovery. So in June 2020, this is exactly what Jeff and I set out to create 🥳 With APM Map, you can: • Access a directory of 180+ APM recruiting resources (all for free!) • Filter resources by Interview Prep stage — from applying to APM programs to acing your final onsite interview • See what resources current APMs recommend, from companies like Google, Yahoo, Twitter, and more If you're an aspiring PM looking to navigate the APM recruiting process → we write a weekly APM Map newsletter where we share tips for the APM recruiting journey, as well as ways to practice mindfulness & self-care in the midst of recruiting stress. You can sign up here: https://apmmap.substack.com/welcome If you're a current PM and would like to be featured on APM Map as a Mentor → we'd love to have you!

Nice work! Love the map concept/interaction on the directory page. Would love to feature this on the Resources page of Break Into Product if you're open to it: https://www.breakintoproduct.org/

Thanks for building this!! I have been using the APM map for quite some time now and honestly, I'm in love with it :)

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 👏

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 such a great resource as I hear from aspiring PMs that I've already shared it with and I certainly wish I had this when I was recruiting for APM roles. Great work team!
