Importance of being articulate

What are the unique problems that you faced working as a PM in a startup at various stages vs the ones in corporate?

I feel like startups have unreasonable and unnecessary self induced pressure at times. I am working as an APM at a gate management startup and all I feel is pressurized even though the release gets delayed whether due to faulty implementation or dev or qa or requirement change from business side which the PM has no control over. While all this is happening you are left to wonder where did you lack? Was it at Product Management or at Project Management because clearly both are not happening properly. It's weird how so little at times is in your control and yet how all the blame you have to take because primarily it was your job to think it all through.

I moved into PM from Sales. Have a total of 15yrs exp with 3 yrs in PM. With my technical background, I have a good understanding of tech stuff like Solution design.and BA, Give my total exp I am targeting Sr. PM or Lead PM role. Any suggestions for prep for Sr. PM or Lead PM interview?

I work with someone who constantly takes my ideas and shares them as their own. For example, if I mention an idea in a group meeting, this person then comes and repeats the same idea in other meetings to different people as if it was their own. This happens very often so it's not a coincidence. This person is not qualified for the job they were hired for and constantly piggy backs off my work and ideas and appropriates them as their own. I'm really not sure how to address this without coming off as petty. This has been going on for almost a year now and I'm really sick of it. Any suggestions or advice?

I have good grip on grammar but when I try to speak I lose control and I am always lack of words while speaking but this is not the case while writing. How to improve this thing? One thing worths mentioning here that I become nervous pretty quickly. It may be the potential cause behind this issue.

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

Hey folks. I am a PM with 1 YOE. I make a lot of unforced errors and have been in bad situations because of poor communication too. Although, I try my best to communicate everything and anything. The founder just hear me speak and not to hear specifically. I am gradually feeling, that maybe I am not good enough to survive in this role. On the other hand, I am pretty much interested in finance. Am above average in hard skills named as Financial Modelling, Financial Statement Analysis, Deal Structuring and Valuation Techniques. I read pre IPO papers to understand more about industries and sectors. Do financial modelling for the same companies to check if I am on the right track or not. How can I switch to a finance role maybe? Or what other fields should I explore to get out of this. I have graduation in BTech. P. S. - Need some serious help. Thanks in advance.

For people who work in teams or build teams to work on projects, apart from the obvious skillsets to perform the job, what other things do you look out for? I'm essentially talking about soft skills. For me, someone who can articulate their thoughts and communicate efficiently is soo freaking important! Curious to know what others think.
