    thank you for posting this bc I just got into med school after pivoting into tech and I like product so much but I also love medicine so I’m in a career crisis and this helped clear some of it up for me. THANK YOU!
  • @nwamuche
    Very insightful and revealing. Thanks for your good works.
  • Such great insights, I’ve been a developer for nearly 10 years and I can tell you a good product manager is worth their weight in gold… a bad one can leave you in a world of pain πŸ˜‚

    so relatable... a new grad looking to pivot in an entry-level PM role with no full-time work experience is insanely difficult in 2024 :) but I am trying to be more flexible by considering to be a data / business analyst first
  • @BenjaminKing1
    Thanks for talking through this! My perspective is that the gradient of skills that are necessary to build a good product was previously boxed into 3 simplified boxes of Product, Engineering, and Design. Even if one of those "titles" disappear, the responsibilities would still be necessary to build a product. (just because you erase the box line doesn't mean the skills are no longer necessary) Find the core responsibilities/skills that you are good at and enjoy doing and find whatever title aligns with those skills. Cheers
  • Thank you for posting. I'm new here and hope to gain more knowledge from your vast experience.
  • 12 years of experience with a masters degree, half of my experience is in cybersecurity cant get a PM job at literally any company, even when I try to drop down from director into Sr PM dozens of interviews, 6 final rounds, no or ambiguous feedback and they dont actually end up hiring someone for the role... no one is actually hiring, they promote some poor Sr Pm with 4 years of experience into a director and tell them they have 3 products instead of one now, pat them on the back and tell them good luck thats the only real explanation i can think of as to why i have NEVER been to a final round interview and didnt get an offer.... and now i have have 6 in the last 4 months and not a single offer
  • Can you recommend a good certification course for product management please?
