Hello Everyone,
I am a 2022 MBA pass out from an Old IIM, and I have a total work experience of 2 years & 4 months(1.2 years post-MBA as an APM). I resigned from my position as an 'Associate Product Manager' in June 2023 because I found the role unfulfilling, I was totally not enjoying it, and I aspired to transition into roles related to the Strategy and Growth domain.
(Link to my previous post on Grapevine regarding my Job Role Switch: https://share.gvine.app/EmMbJcfW4pCcEsZW9)
I'm currently having an offer to join the Strategy Team at a Series B-funded startup, with Y Combinator being one of the investors. However, this opportunity is a 6-month internship ( Designation: Strategy and Ops Intern), with the potential for conversion to a full-time role based on performance. I'm seeking advice on whether or not I should pursue this opportunity.
Additional Information: Over the past 3-4 months, I've actively applied to numerous Strategy and Growth roles. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any shortlists for these positions since they typically required a minimum of 2 years of experience in Strategy Consulting, which I currently lack, on the other side, I was only getting shortlists for APM/PM roles which I was accepting as I was not having any other option at that point in time.
My Take: I consider this as a great opportunity to kickstart my career in the Strategy domain and I am confident about the conversion of a full-time opportunity. I am extremely interested in building my career in this strategy domain and this was the major reason to left my previous jobs. The organization also explicitly mentioned that they were also looking for a long-term association with me.
I would greatly appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you so much for your time
Seems like a great opportunity. Would highly recommend Exits from strategy roles are also aplenty and can open up a lot of routes.
One advice, take up the job, it's better risking now than never. Good luck.

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.
Very cool How is it working at PolicyBazaar? Does the product evolve a lot? How do you folks look at Acko?
