I’m in a LO seat and I got non stop inbounds from recruiters on MM roles for what it’s worth
Turnover feels brutal in these seats tbh… recruiter usually has some cover up story why prior analyst was let go. Or they play up why you would want to work for a startup PM
Gotcha - are these roles across multiple different sectors or all for software?
