Recently I had a conversation with a friend of mine who was interested in doing product management at a startup. He was working as a consultant, but wanted to join a company like foursquare as a PM. However, he wasnt getting any return calls and was becoming frustrated, and wanted my advice on why.I told him this:Guess what? Everyone thinks they are the next Steve Jobs, but they arent. The odds are you arent Gods gift to product design. And even if you are, no one will be inclined to believe it, because you have no evidence: youve never 1) started a startup, 2) worked at a startup, 3) worked in product management, 4) designed products as side projects. All your experience is in another irrelevant field; why should a successful startup give you a chance?
