Underrated skills to have for Product Management

Both tech and non tech skills

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.

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?

I have 8 years of total work experience, graduated from a Tier I college. I still feel lost as to what future holds. Kickass & genuine advises on professional, personal fronts are most welcome. I am sure a lot of folks could relate.

I want to break into product management. I am an ML engineer with 4 yrs of experience in service based companies. What job roles should I apply to and how should I go on preparing for it?

Hey, I'm an undergrad student pursuing BBA and planning to do an MBA from any of the top B-schools of India, so what are the skills that I should acquire and learn before getting into the B-school if I wanna go for the product manager role.

So I've met many PMs in my career. Most have been sub par, poor performers, can't even do IC work. The ones who can do IC work, can't think. The IC work is generally project management not product. They need someone to tell them directions So here's a few things. The best PMs I've met, are good engineers. Yes. These are the same folks who come for product management conferences and are respected. Of course not all engineers are good at product. The role of product came up with manufacturing first when you had product designers who worked with engineers and had a good understanding of both engineering limitations and user understanding. Some of the PMs I have met don't even talk to users. The reason i am seeing an issue in PMs in India is the increase in demand in the role, and a lack of supply. There is a product engineer role, I met a few folks who are doing that, they were amazing. Knew technology, users, product and super passionate. I'm not saying this is a hard and fast rule, I'm sure there are folks who have a natural inclination, so if you're an exception, understand that. Don't get offended by the statement
