Software Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I want to understand if this is common for folks and is there a way to tackle it.

I have recently moved my career from Talent Acquisition to Product Management Internally in my organization. My New Manager has also very recently joined the team. I see him barely investing time in understanding the skillset I hold and whenever there's a time of taking some responsibilities he will give it to others. I have been doing some operational work for the past 1 month now, majorly with excel sheets and coordination. 

I want to start working as a Product Management Professional and not as an operational Guy !

Open to suggestions on how to take this up !

Early days as Product Management Professional

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.

Advice for PMs!

What are the mistakes you made? What do you think you did well? What could you have done better? What is the most difficult aspect of the job? What would you hope others understood about the role?

Your experience being a product manager

Management has tried to underpay us all this time. We deserve to know what is the real salaries for our YOE? 

I am being paid 24.6L CTC / 2 YOE. What about you?

Product Management CTC Thread: How much PMs really make?

Software Developer

Curious if there are any PMs who started their careers as product designers or sth similar. If yes, would love to know your story. If someone around is has a similar story, would love to hear that as well!

Any designers turned PMs?

Product Designer

Any one working freelancer product manager

I really wanted to build great products and have a say in how they would be built. To thrive in ambiguity and find relationships between causality and features is an addictive feeling. What about you?

What inspired you to become a Product Manager?

To folks who have loved working with a Product Manager at any point, what are some of the most important traits you admired about them?

Was it the personality/smartness, or their passion for work or something else entirely?

In my quest to understand what it takes to be the BEST Product Manager.

Product Owner

I have just graduated and joined a fintech firm in their product team(it's been 2 months)
Was just curious as to understand about how were your early days in product and how did you navigate your way up?

Till now, it has been more about understanding and managing data for me, is that normal?
(Though I understand it's essential however still)
I wish to be part of the strategic side more as opposed to only data 

I understand data is the thing for product, however still building stuff gives a greater sense of ownership and responsibility.

Looking for some genuine guidance and wisdom.
Thank you!
