Application Follow-up Tracker, Week of 6 October 2026: Deprioritize All Three 2024 Applications
Interpretation: all three applications are 880 to 891 days old (as of 2026-10-06), far past the 7 to 10 business day first-nudge window. The exact 2024 postings were matched by title against each employer's public ATS feed and none was found, so I treat each as "not found on board" and infer (likely, not confirmed by a 404) that it is closed. I assumed no nudge was ever sent, and used your 10-day spacing preference. No rows were skipped or deduplicated (3 of 3 processed).
| Company | Role | Days since applied | Posting status (with link) | Employer news | Contact change | Recommended action with reason | Draft follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Senior PM Payments | 880 | No title match on the Stripe Greenhouse board (718 listings). Nearest live roles: "Product Manager, Payments" (ID 7176530, first published 2025-08-25) and "Staff Product Manager, Payments" (ID 7819059, 2026-04-15). Original posting likely closed (inference). | 2026-09-30: Stripe agreed to acquire Parafin (credit for platforms). It does not touch Payments PM directly. No layoffs or freeze found. | Priya Nair: not found (search returned several unrelated people of that name, none confirmed as a Stripe hiring manager) | deprioritize: the application is 880 days old and the original role is not on the board. Consider a fresh application to the live Payments PM roles instead. | — |
| Figma | Product Manager II | 887 | No "Product Manager II" title on the Figma Greenhouse board (164 listings). Live PM roles include "Product Manager, Developer Platform" (ID 6100482004), "Product Manager, Acquisition" (ID 6119781004) and "Product Manager, AI Growth" (ID 5989185004). Original posting likely closed (inference). | 2026-08-06: CFO said Figma is hiring fewer people than planned because of AI. Company-wide, not team-specific. | Sam Lee: not found (multiple unconfirmed "Sam Lee" profiles; none verified as a Figma recruiter) | deprioritize: 887 days old, original role not on the board, and Figma says hiring is slower than planned. | — |
| Notion | Group PM | 891 | No Group PM or Product Manager title on the Notion Ashby board (135 listings). Original posting likely closed (inference). | 2026-09-24: Max Schoening named CTO; he had led product and design for the past year. This is a leadership change touching product. | none named; no public alternate recruiter or hiring manager confirmed | deprioritize: 891 days old and no matching role on the board. | — |
Notes
- Stripe, Figma, Notion (all deprioritize): The "closed" status is an inference from the role being absent from the live ATS feeds, not from a fetched 404 or "no longer accepting" notice. Figma's feed listed Product Management roles only at Manager and Product Manager level, with no "II" title (Figma board).
- Stripe: The open "Product Manager, Payments" listing was last updated 2026-09-25, so Payments PM hiring is active, but it is a different posting from the one you applied to (Stripe board).
- Notion: Search results showed third-party aggregator listings for Notion PM roles, but none appears on the Notion Ashby board, so I did not treat them as live.
Do next / open items
- Notion's Ashby feed lists a "Business Development Manager, Product & Platform" role (team: Product Management, published 2026-07-02), which is not a Group PM role (listing).
- Possible fresh applications (your decision): Stripe "Product Manager, Payments" and Figma PM roles above. Add them as new rows next week with an applied date and a named contact.
- Contacts Sam Lee and Priya Nair were not verified; if you have their LinkedIn URLs, add them and I will check title or departure.
Coverage
LinkedIn profiles could not be opened for confirmation (search results only); Wayback Machine snapshots, state WARN notices, Layoffs.fyi and Notion funding databases were not checked.
Summary
No follow-up emails are recommended this week: all three rows are deprioritized because the applications are 880 to 891 days old and the original roles are not on the boards. Highest-value action: consider fresh applications to the live Stripe Payments PM and Figma PM roles.
