looking to break into tech? doing an IG takeover/AMA as a non-technical product manager ~https://www.instagram.com/uwaterlooalumni/

Howdyyyy folks, I'm Helen, and I'm doing an IG takeover today (Monday, November 2nd) on the @uwaterlooalumni (University of Waterloo) account.I'll be chatting about working at Microsoft as a Product Manager (vs a Program Manager), how it was different than PM-ing at Zynga, and most importantly, how I even landed in the role as an earth science major who can't code.I'll also talk about imposter syndrome, and maintaining balance during covid times while working on Co.Lab, where I'm helping aspiring PMs, developers, and designers break into the industry with practical and collaborative product experience.It might be helpful to tune in if you're someone who is looking to break into tech from a non-traditional background, or a student who is struggling to land the exact internship you want... Or just come hear about how I completely failed my first ever tech interview at Riot Games. 🤣I'll try to be on all day and you can AMA about breaking into tech, learnings during college, struggling to get internships, how a non-technical PM operates in a technical space, etc, etc ~ hope to see you there!IG Live will be happening here: https://www.instagram.com/uwaterlooalumni/You can also see more about Co.Lab here: https://joincolab.io
