Description

Looking to switch careers into program management at a big tech company? Or perhaps you're looking to start interviewing soon for a program manager role. Do you need a structured methodology to get you through the interview process? Then this course is for you.
Program managers have become ubiquitous at many tech companies and are quickly growing in more conventional industries and verticals as well. They drive progress across organizations, operate cross-functionally with different teams, and pivot on a dime to adapt to quickly changing market conditions and customer-centric needs. They also transcend beyond your typical project manager and come with domain expertise, design, and product sense.
I made this course for those looking to land a role as a program manager, both technical and non-technical. By the end of the course, you will have a high-level understanding of the program manager role and be sufficiently prepared to interview for program manager roles at various tech companies.
The ideal student for this course is someone who is hoping to land a role as a program manager or preparing to switch roles and wants a structured method to prepare for the interview process. There are no requirements necessary to enroll, I only ask that you engage in the exercises in the course and stay open-minded.
