Weekends are for rest and learning. I spend a few hours on online courses, then relax. Balance is key. Set boundaries, prioritize tasks, and enjoy personal time.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

What do the product managers in a stable companies do on their weekends or holidays?

what are some projects or side hustles you have been working on besides your day job? 

I've been wanting to build some AI wrappers but can't find the time. 

is it possible to work on this on weekends/free time?

personal projects/side hustle

Not sure if anyone feels completely exhausted during the weekends. My energy levels are decent during the week but come weekends and my energy levels crash. Apart from talking to friends, I have little energy to do anything else like reading a book, working on a side-project, etc.

Wanted to know if anyone else feels the same way. And if someone has been able to reverse this and have more energy on weekends.

Does anyone else feel exhausted on weekends?

I am a PM at an edtech startup. The company is not doing well and my boss is not a good leader. Although company has a runway of 2 years. For the past 3 months I have been doing program management. No product management related work at all. No one appreciates you here. It's mentally challenging to work here. No road map for myself. No appraisal. I'm just going on the job for salary. For the past week, I have been thinking about quitting and taking a break. Then look for a job. I know the market is tough but I have runway for 4-5 months. I have a total of 3 years of Product experience. 

What should you guys suggest. I really need your help here.

Should I quit my job?!

What are your weekends usually like as a PM?

Basically the title. I am a 2024 grad here, many of my batch people have this question.  At different years of experience how much time do you study/upskill apart from jobs on weekdays and weekends you. Is it different for different yoe ?
How do you maintain WLB balance ?

How much time do hou upskill ?

Software engineers having 1+ YoE working full-time (not internship), how do you folks upskill apart from regular work at the office?

What do you do for upskilling?

Hey everyone, 

I am a fresher out of college and I have an offer from a good company, with good pay and WLB. I was wondering that after joining the company, should I upskill myself continuously alongside my job (includes DSA, s
System Design etc) or just focus on my job and have a good work life balance? 

There are two different contradictory versions of me right now: one says it's necessary to upskill, the other one says to enjoy live to the fullest.

Confused between the need for upskilling and WLB

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I've been thinking about how we're always connected to work these days. The line between work and personal time seems to be getting blurrier, with our phones constantly buzzing with work notifications. 

It's becoming a real challenge for many to truly disconnect and maintain a healthy work-life balance. 

I've personally struggled with this - just last week, I found myself answering work emails at on a Saturday, and it made me realize how much it's affecting my downtime.

In an age of constant connectivity, how do you manage work-related communication outside office hours? What boundaries have you or your company set to prevent burnout?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi,
I am a 2023 graduate and currently working in a product based startup in Indiranagar. When I came to Bangalore a few months ago, it was all fun and exciting. I still love my work (working in multiple tech stacks). But somehow life outside the work has become somewhat boring. I do go on bike ride trips but again can't go every weekend.

I play badminton and cricket sometimes but still feel bored sometimes.

I don't go to clubs as I don't drink and smoke. Would love if you folks can suggest something?

How to chill in Bangalore?

Hello All!! Needed some advice with upskilling to further my career in Product Management and add more dimensions to it. 

For some context, I have 4.5+ YoE in the software industry, primarily functional roles including about 3 years in Product Management. 

I want to up-skill myself in some hard skills as I think I have decent exposure in soft skills/functional aspects of PM but lack in the former. 

Have been thinking of the following: 
1. APIs (Conceptual and hands on) 
2. Data Analysis (SQL to be precise) 
3. Low/No Code Tools 

I have about 6 months before I start looking for a new role and want to add these to my profile so as to land a good job. 

Please share your inputs and feedback if these would be useful in a real-life scenario and any other suggestions, if applicable. 

Counting on the advice and thanks in advance :)

Up-skilling as a Product Manager

So thing is  In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing.

And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue.
What would you have done .[ practical advice only]

And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .
