You’ve heard the hype: product management is the dream job for Gen Z. But what does a PM actually do — and how do you get your foot in the door?

Join Preya Patel, Senior Manager of Product at Discover and startup veteran, for a behind-the-scenes look at how she broke into product (without a CS degree), the hard lessons she learned along the way, and what she wishes more students knew about getting hired.

We’ll cover:
✅ How to land a PM job without a tech background or MBA
✅ What skills matter most (and what most students get wrong)
✅ What a day-in-the-life really looks like
✅ Red and green flags hiring managers notice instantly

Whether you’re product-curious or ready to go all-in, this is your real-world crash course on how to build a meaningful PM career — straight from someone who’s hired, coached, and mentored dozens.
