Product Manager @ Visa | PM Recruiting, Personal Branding & Interview Coach
Hi, I'm Vaish Anna, a Product Manager at Visa and a coach focused on product management recruiting. Over the past several years, I've navigated the PM recruiting journey myself, from landing my first Associate Product Manager role to building a career in product within fintech. Along the way, I've coached aspiring and early-career product managers through every stage of the recruiting process, including resume development, networking strategy, interview preparation, and offer evaluation. My coaching style is practical, structured, and highly personalized. Rather than relying on generic frameworks, I help candidates identify their unique strengths, craft compelling stories, and build a recruiting strategy that fits their goals. Whether you're breaking into product for the first time, transitioning from another field, or preparing for competitive PM interviews, my goal is to help you approach the process with clarity, confidence, and a repeatable game plan. I believe great recruiting outcomes come from preparation, iteration, and strong decision-making. My role is to help you focus on the right things, avoid common mistakes, and move through the process more efficiently.
