John Fontenot sent out more than a hundred product applications and heard nothing. Then his title changed, and recruiters started calling within two weeks.

He's the founder of Path2Product and a Principal Product Manager who pivot internally: sales, then UX research, then product. On this episode of The Product Pivot, we dive into the experience paradox nobody in product chats about - you need experience to get the job that gives you experience.

What actually convinces a recruiter to bet on someone with no product title yet? Why does John tell aspiring PMs to go work for a private-equity-backed company instead of the hyped VC startup? Listen to hear it all.
