Hi Folks, coming across on linkedin lot of posts by PM Influencers and it is literally overwhelming. How to separate good content from the annoying ones. Can an aspiring PM fix to few consistent quality resources and do quietly PM work.


Are quiet PMs able to learn more on product management.


Day by Day Linkedin posts on PM by PM Influencers are shitholes.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm looking for suggestions for some podcasts focused on VCs, startups and Fintech
Looking for podcasts by Indians. 
But If you think they're not that insightful I'm fine with any other recommendations too

Would be great if you can share somethings that you've learnt it the hard way especially on topics like stakeholder management (dealing with engineering/ execs/ founders/ P&L team), learning/ upskilling, switching internally/ externally, perfection vs hacky stuff

PMs with 10+ YOE of experience, what are some lessons that you want to share with folks who've just started out

I'm a PM with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a habit of reading product management newsletters. But now I'm planning to start with good product management books. 

Suggest a book that you've read and was practically useful in your work. This can help folks like me facing this issue of choosing between an ocean of books out there.

Suggest the best PM book you've ever read

Coming from a SPM.
Lifecycle of most PMs:
1. Become a PM
2. Keep posting same trite content on LinkedIn
3. Then register yourself as a coach on some PM community.
Nothing against them but frankly none of them ever post a content or article on what features they have launched or worked upon.
Forget any launch,they won't even share the domain learning.Most of the time it will be the copy pasted content from Marty Cagan and Shreyas Doshi

Too much bakar from PMs

Mine are:
Shreyas Doshi (tweets)
Manas Saloi (blog)
Paras Chopra (blog)

All 3 have shared superb content for free in their blogs/tweets

years of wisdom summarized for consumption

I don't read books often
so am grateful to people like these compress so much knowledge in a consumable form

Useful PM accounts to follow on twitter

Recently reading up on a few things. Thinking of taking an year off to start something new. Let's see.

Drop your favourite blogs/newsletters/editorials. I want to see what I can learn.

[Thread] What are some of your favourite blogs in Product Management?

I’ve probably seen 15+ young, impressionable college students fall prey to PM course scams in the last month only. PLEASE DO NOT JUMP INTO COURSES THINKING YOU’LL END UP IN PRODUCT MANAGEMENT FOR LONG. Please build some hard skills - SQL, Analysis, Figma, basics of python, basics of APIs, prompt engineering etc first. APMs who don’t have any hard skills and are only good at user journey, product sense, bettering a product, etc., would be massacred very soon. Shift to PM after some work experience. I’m getting my LinkedIn flooded with requests which look similar - 

Hi , I’m enthusiast about PM, read a few Nir eyal, Theils, have worked as an intern on <Unknown Product> and would like to apply for Position at your company. I’ve done blah blah courses and feel I’d be a good fit. NO YOU WON’T. Please save yourselves. :(

Advice to College folks on PM career

Lately I am seeing a lot more people talk about the fact that being a PM is a sub optimal strategy for an eventful career in Tech. However, let me remind you that people in tech tend to be predominantly engineers and they like the people skills needed to be good at making Products for actual humans.

I have personally witnessed PMs be great at talking to various teams in Engg, Design, Analystics and Operations. They are so good at talking that they forget that they actually need to work and not just speak all the time. I feel that PMs are all talk but now work and just chill around the foosball table all day. Once in a while they will go and flirt with that new chick that joined their team. In case the joke wasn't clear, "PMs are the cesspool of Tech". 😂

We need PMs more than you think...

Product Owner

Hi all!

I'm a pm with marketing background, what should i do to become technically literate?

I'm getting hang of backend and frontend, but need help in understanding complex design choices/frameworks that engineers have made in the past.

Suggest some books/blogs that I can read

Need to become more techinally literate

So with advancement in technology since decade and then the COVID wave , many startups were having money flowing into them from VCs and there was a boost in Indian startup ecosystem, many startups achieved the status of unicorn too , i am not saying product managers were not existing before , ofcourse they were there buliding some amazing products for the users out there, but do you think that the extra cash that was coming into the system created so many product management roles as a generalist and gave rise to popularity of product management and now we can see every second person wants to be a PM

Did this give rise to so many PM roles?

[Thread] What is the one thing you could add to PM, so that it doesn’t become the HR of jokes?

Hi,
I am a final year B.Tech student from Tier 1.5 college. Finding my way hard through SDE opportunities.
I was thinking of going for Product Roles (Management/Analyst/Consultant). I have good business acumen and worked in management, content creation fields in college societies, but how can I enter into Product roles. 

Please help me guide through what steps I should be taking regarding preparing my resume, LinkedIn profile, applying to off-campus opportunities(domestic/abroad).
Any inputs appreciated 🙏🙏

Plase guide me for Product Roles

1. High pressure on timelines- business and top management shits on you if you don’t deliver on time
2. No power to control the outcome- engineers don’t listen to you neither does the design or analytics team, you end up begging for resources
3. Too much politics- business or a senior PM can steal your bandwidth anytime
4. Lack of recognition- if it succeeds business did it, if it fails it is product teams fault (engg never gets blamed for shit)

I believe Product Management is a really toxic role

How do you search for PM roles? Apart from the usual (LinkedIn).

PM Job Search

Hey all , I actually have many questions but as of now I am only going with the three , I am pretty sure those who are product managers especially in tech are understanding the roles in their own defined way 

1. Which part of your role is most exhausting , is it working with cross functional teams or taking approval from leadership for executing your features rather than pre defined roadmap ?

2. What does that mean if someone says product management is rewarding career ? (Monetary or professional growth ;)

3. How does this role is going to evolve in next 2-4 years 

Let's see what my fellow VINERS think about this role...
