đź’ˇ Product Circle â• Chat - Navigating the Broken PM Job Market with James Gunaca
​Welcome to 💡 Product Circle ╠Chat on
đź•• Wednesday 31 July 2025 at 6pm (AEST) / 8am (UK)
​Topic: How to successfully navigate today’s broken Product Management job market
The Product job market isn’t what it used to be. You’ve probably seen roles vanish mid-process, hundreds of applicants, vague job descriptions, and slow-moving hiring cycles.
​But while the market may be broken, your job search doesn’t have to be.
​At 💡 Product Circle ╠Chat, we’re joined by James Gunaca, one of the most respected voices in product career coaching today. With over 20 years of experience leading teams and launching global 0-to-1 products at Amazon, ExpressVPN, and beyond, James has turned his focus to helping Product Managers land their next role faster, and with more money.
​James regularly publishes the most in-depth monthly reports on Product Management job listings across LinkedIn and Reddit, and he’s supported hundreds of PMs through layoffs, long job hunts, and career pivots. His insights are grounded in real data, real conversations with hiring managers, and real results.
​Whether you’re:
​Actively job hunting,
​Feeling stuck in a long process,
​Considering your next move, or
​A product leader trying to support your team...
​This session will give you the tools and frameworks to approach your search like a product: with a strategy, a plan, and a way to win.
