It seems the job market is really bad now. I only see B2B SaaS/Tech PM roles posted around.
Where are those good old days where having a business P&L experience, coupled with pure strategy experience made yours a killer profile to land really cool and impactful roles at top startups and orgs in general.
It seems startups, especially eCom ones, are almost dead now (in terms of hiring business non tech profiles). There were a few promising startups that had emerged such as Udaan, 1K Kirana, City Mall, PayTM, etc. where a business P&L roles would have been suitable. But all these startups seem to have gone down the drain, with hardly anything remaining now.

I have been contemplating a switch to PM but I am more wary now.
Are there any startups / e-commerce companies hiring for 0 to 1 type of roles ?
I work in Swiggy for one of their 0 to 1 investments. Have a pretty wholesome P&L role. But the situation is precarious cause of the recent layoffs.
