1) I wanted to first say that this is by no means a personal attack on the creator behind http://Ranks.fyi . Although we are not personal friends, I have no doubt that they are an incredibly smart, talented, & capable individual, with sharp entrepreneurial drive.
3) On the core value (1/6): When I first came up with APM Map, it came from a place of love. Love for the mentors who selflessly helped me when I was recruiting. Love for the friends who supported me as I rose above rejections & failures.
4) On the core value (2/6): APM Map is about helping you forge your own path into PM - no matter your past education or work experience - and breaking down the financial barriers that block access to interview prep resources, especially for first-gen/low-income students.
2) In fact, I would love for them to see this, and perhaps we can chat further. However, the product http://Ranks.fyi misses the mark on Diversity & Inclusion in so many ways that what I'm about to say absolutely needs to be said.
