In Silicon Valley, working as a Product Manager for Google or another major consumer internet company is a right of passage into working in the consumer internet world. It's like spending 2 years in investment banking (or investment management in my case) at a major investment bank after undergrad before continuing in finance. Other common uses of the "X investment bank" on one's resume is to show that you can analyze something and use excel.
Well, not everyone can be a product manager for Google, or a financial analyst for Goldman Sachs. But, the good news is that there are resources out there to help you learn. I've had the Silicon Valley Product Managers Association recommended to me by a friend. You can find useful articles for new product managers and tips for current product managers to stay up to date. Still on the hunt for other resources, but here's a start.
