Gaurab’s Product Management Qualifications

Experience level: Product Manager

With an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and extensive experience as a Product Manager at top companies like Google, Zillow, and PayPal, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you break into and excel in product management. My journey has equipped me with the skills to navigate the complexities of product strategy, development, and management. If you are not a former engineer, or lack a degree in Computer Science, don't worry. I was in your shoes several years ago and I discovered that is completely feasible to break into Product Management without a formal 'technical background'. I'm not denying you need to have a good understand of technology fundamentals, but its very learnable and I will coach you through it. As a former international student myself (F1 / H1-B visa holder), I understand the challenges and nuances of not having required work authorization. It feels like an unfair disadvantage - I get it. I will help you navigate past these constraints. I have successfully mentored numerous aspiring product managers, helping them land roles at leading tech firms. Let's connect and craft a personalized plan to achieve your career goals in product management!

About Gaurab

I specialize in Product Management recruiting, especially for non-technical candidates looking to transition either from school, or a lateral job transfer. As an international student, I am also keenly aware of the recruiting nuances when it comes to international candidates (F1 / H1-B visa holders). I have 6+ years of Product & Tech experience across startup and big technology companies including Google, PayPal and Zillow. I'm currently focused on applying AI and LLMs to reimagine local and travel search on Google (dining, places, hotels, flights, things to do etc.). While doing my MBA at Stanford, I co-founded and led Product for a Crypto startup ($50+ revenue), and also completed two tech PM internships (B2C PropTech & B2B AI). Prior to b-school, I worked at PayPal across divisions like Strategy, Analytics and Product Management. I graduated from the University of Chicago with a BA degree in Economics and Statistics. If you work with me, our coaching sessions will cover all aspects of PM recruiting: 1. Crafting a winning profile - including resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. 2. Build a company list - across startups/big tech, B2C/B2B/B2B2C as well as different sectors (healthcare, cloud, gaming etc.) 3. Align with you on the roles, responsibilities and expectations of a PM 4. Develop a networking strategy - writing cold emails, how to talk to recruiters, how to talk to product managers / hiring managers 5. Extensive interview prep - covering all kinds of interview questions (product strategy, analytics, design, leadership and technical)
