Product Management

I saw this transition recently by anuj rathi, although I saw some threads on GV about hik moving to Cleartrip, but as business head is something I didn't know
Based on this transition is it good to say that -- Product ke log khatre me hai kya( product folks are in danger). Better to have some relevant hard skills rather than just shouting on LinkedIn about entering into product mgmt

CPO to Business Head

Associate Product Manager

I joined my company (tech startup) as a Product Manager and over the course of 3 years have worked both in Product as well  as in Business teams. And to be honest, I like both the work.

Now, I am looking for a switch and unable to decide which role I should pursue - Product or Business. So, I would need help from you all. 

From a long term career point of view keeping in mind compensation, scope of work and transitioning into leadership positions (CXOs), which is a better role and why - Product or Business?

Which role would you prefer from an overall career point of view - Product or Business?

Grapevine is the place where i have heard so much about PM. I can understand what it is but what are the skills required to get into it . Coding  Language or analytical or btech or MBA or what,? State it like you are telling it to a commerce grad. Thanks.

What is PM? What's the requisite skill set?

Was checking springworks' job description as ive heard good things about them. Both roles seemed kind of the same. Can someone guide and tell me abkut the difference?

So. What exactly is the difference between product marketing and product management?

Account Manager

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

Hey everyone, I wanted to know exactly what a product designer actually does. What is there day to day activities, what are the qualification needed to be a product designer. I saw most of the product designers are getting really good pay in startup and I am curious to know what's their daily job looks like.

What does a Product Designer actually do?

Team Lead

Not Lenny. I'm asking about leaders actively working in India. 

Let's give them the acknowledgment they deserve. Please mention any product person you admire even if they are not 'LinkedIn famous',

Who are the best product leaders in India? Maybe you report to them, like their content, or love the products they have built.

I have seen in several videos and blogs including MKDHB talks that AI is a product or feature. What's your thought on this?

Is AI a Product or Feature? or just technology

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello, thanks for your patience. As someone from the creative industry I’d like to understand what product managers do exactly. 

What kind of companies hire Product Managers? 

As someone who has dwelled in copywriting, films, ads, and handling film production I’m looking to change towards Product Management. 
Are there any skills transferable to this professions? 

Appreciate your time.

Product Managers: What do they do?

Marketing Creative

I am a 2023 graduate and a product Enthusiast. I am from a top tier NIT but unfortunately no companies come for PM roles. I have no idea why. I have a placement in a very good company and a very good salary but im not satisfied because its not in Product. 

What are my options, what do I do? I am not at all interested in another rat race to the IIMs and MBA degrees. 
I just want to work and hustle. 

What can I do?? 

Appreciate all the suggestions. 
Thank you

How do I break into Product Management as a fresher.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Note - I am a product manager too

4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), 

Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks)

It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor.

Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.

I am done with this product management shit

Product Development

As the title suggests I’m looking forward to a discussion around the future of SE roles in India. There isn’t a lot of information around career advancement and/or compensation metrics available.

About me: I’m working at an early stage startup as an SE(not really into this but as a generalist tried doing whatever I can and currently here). have a total of 5+ YOE with 3 in pre sales at an IT major. Was the first SE here. Really enjoy the 0-1 phase and have worked in this startup for 2+ years across Customer Success and Sales. Should I look forward to growing in the SE field or try to move to Product(in the same company)….What would be better in the long run in terms of work, compensation and growth( SE, sales or product)…
