Anyone here experienced a situation where you were excellent at product in a previous company but struggle to do product at a new or current company? I was a top performer previously and I had to switch jobs for a certain reason. Here I find that I just can’t think of anything or find anything to do product wise. I struggle to set strategy or think of big ideas and my pace is incredibly slow.

I feel a bit like this but, in my case, I think it's because I don't feel like I can relate much to the domain, there's limited usage data and access to customers is also challenging.

Is this job in a different domain to your previous one? What do you think is making it hard to come up with ideas?

Same situation as you described. I was in a new domain previously but somehow grasped it. This one was unexpected and I have encountered so many political challenges that it is hard to get my brain to think creatively

I saw a co-worker struggle with this. I think his PM skills were fine but he never really connected with our customers or understood their needs. I found in any role, if I can't authentically connect with the customer it becomes an uphill battle for my productivity.

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?

Six months ago a financial conglomerate offered me a position. The pay and benefits were really good so I took it. Now, I’ve realised this company is dangerously toxic so I deeply regret leaving the firm.

It’s been a week since we talked. Is it okay to reach out and ask for any updates?
