Weekends

What is your Salary and YOE ? Are you satisfied with the progress you have achieved so far ?

These days, I am gathering inputs from other PMs about what they are pursuing om their weekends or holidays as due to certain family restrictions by traving has stopped so usually have lot of free weekends at hand and was just exploring ideas about how to make them productive or fun weekends.

Been playing a crap ton of poker online nowadays and between hands I could only wonder what do other PMs do here. Answer Answer Answer! 🚨

Can PMs here please describe their day to day work? What kind of things do you work on? What scale of products/users do you deal with? Likes and dislikes about being a PM?

I’ve been into startup product management for about more than 5 years. While the problems are interesting at times, the daily life is mentally draining. I can’t think of anything else apart from work even post working hours. Feels like there’s no life/identity apart from the work I do. I try taking time offs but it gets back to where it was in no time. I want to transition to PM roles that have better WLB. Not sure if any startup could offer that. Is a PM role at a big tech services firm less stressful - WITCH, maybe? If so, what could be the best route to get to one. At this point, I think I’m ok doing boring projects as long as I can take the work off my head after working hours and balance out a better personal life alongside.

For someone with ~2 yrs post MBA experience in mgmt consulting, exploring exits at Revolut. 1. How is the growth here? Over the next 3-5 yrs, can folks expect 15-20% CAGR cash component growth? 2.

Have there been any but backs? 3-5 yrs into the firm, what is the most likely ESOP allocation? 4. I've heard working hours are like 10am-7pm. Is that accurate across most teams? Do folks work weekend? 5. How is the culture? Is there top-down aggression/ hard culture? Given everything is remote, do folks ever meet in person?

When asked at the end of the interview, what questions do you generally ask the interviewers? There can be two types of interviewers, one from the PM org and the other from the engineering org (in later rounds) and usually senior folks. What type of questions can be asked to both types of panels?
