To Maya Patel
VP Product · Fintech · 96% response rate
- Situation
- 18 months in product analytics, applying for associate PM roles in fintech.
- Question
- What’s the one change you’d make to how my CV positions me for PM?
Maya answered in 2h
Lead with one decision you drove, not the dashboard behind it. Hiring managers want to see judgement. The SQL is assumed.
Illustrative example
LinkedIn is where professionals broadcast. Askr is where job seekers get answers.
How it works
One good question. One person who knows the answer.
Find someone who has done it
Search by role, industry or topic. People are ranked by how relevant they are and how reliably they reply.
Send one strong question
Your situation, one specific question, and how long it should take. A quick check stops vague asks before they’re sent.
Get a real answer
Advisors answer on the days they choose. If they can’t help, your credit comes back. Rate the answer to close the loop.
Know before you ask
See who replies, not who posts the most.
Every advisor’s profile shows their live response rate, typical reply time and how many people they’ve helped. Someone with 500 followers who always replies ranks above someone with 500,000 who never does.

Built on respect for time
Everything a feed isn’t.
No feed
Nothing to scroll. You come to Askr with a question and leave with an answer.
No follower counts
Visibility comes from helping people and replying reliably, never from audience size.
Protected inboxes
Advisors set their days and a weekly limit. Nobody can exceed it, paid or not.
Fair by design
One free request a day, credits back if they can’t help, and a cap of five requests a day for everyone.
For experienced professionals
Your experience is worth more than another post.
Answer a few focused questions on the days you choose. Build a visible record of helping people, meet strong emerging talent, and earn distinctions that move with your record and can’t be bought.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Askr free?
Yes. Everyone gets one free request every day, and you can earn more by answering questions in Community or inviting friends. Paid plans for people who want to ask more often are coming soon. Paying never moves you up anyone’s inbox.
Who are the advisors?
Experienced professionals: hiring managers, product and engineering leaders, recruiters, founders and specialists. We check identity and role before showing a verification badge, and we never show a badge we haven’t checked.
Why would a busy person answer me?
Because Askr respects their time. Advisors choose their answering days and a weekly limit, and every request arrives short and structured. Answering builds a visible record of helping people, and the strongest advisors earn distinctions like Askr Fellow.
What if they don’t answer?
If an advisor declines or says it’s not their area, your credit comes straight back. Every profile shows a live response rate and typical reply time, so you can choose someone who replies.
What makes a good question?
Your situation in a sentence or two, then one specific question. “What would you change about my CV for a fintech PM role?” gets answered. “Can I pick your brain?” doesn’t, and Askr won’t let you send it.
Is my information private?
Your requests are only visible to you and the advisor you asked. Your email is never shown to other members. You can delete your account and everything in it at any time.
Stop messaging into the void.
Your first question is free, today and every day.
