Experienced Product, Tech, Sales, founder folks of GV, what would be your one piece of advice for a new APM/PM (1-2 yoe) in the industry, that would help them in the long run. Feel free to also let us know any mistakes you made as a Product guy, early in your career.
One advice: Talk to all the customers and not only the most vocal. Monetise the ones who are not willing to speak or do whatever but talk to everyone and not fall into a cognitive trap.

Point no 3 is something that I’ve faced for quite some time
This is the conscious effort one has to make in the beginning. Better you become with 1 & 2, better your understanding of problem to solve for. This automatically leads to low time consumption in 3.
Think of this way, as a PM your responsibility is to solve for business problems allowing company to reach its goal. Technology is just a medium to achieve it.
