Anyone here feels they are not cut out for product, or just can't feel passionate about anything really? I am starting a new job and feel ashamed of this disinterest/lack of ambition/goals.

I've been there, in addition to trying to take some time off, try to have a "stop" time to have some time for yourself to relax and decompress

I feel this way too. Also just feeling tired and I think it’s just general burnout. I also just started a new job after a little time off, but I wish I could have taken a lot more to just decompress.

EYP superday— was on 10/12. I felt the behavioral went great. Had my first case and tripped up the math a little (missed a zero once and after proposing my approach he suggested I do it another way). But recovered really well and said I did well at the end. Second case— did all my calculations correctly but when I wrote down my approach he moved me in a different direction again (but it was very smooth afterwards). Do I have a chance for internship even though they helped me through?

I’m a FTM returning to work in mid-August since being on maternity leave since the end of February. I can’t wait to go back to work (I have mom guilt about daycare but that’s another story). I’m going back to my project which was was very demanding/stressful so I’m having a little anxiety about returning to that specific project. I would love any tips/advice for setting boundaries and being able to balance work with parenting. I’ve already blocked off my calendar for daycare dropoff & pickups.

Has anyone else worked with a manager that’s difficult to get a gauge on whether you’re meeting expectations? Tiny actions suggest that he doesn’t really like me/gel with me. How does one cope with hard to read bosses where you constantly feel like you’re not doing enough to the point that I now have anxiety about my work and wondering if my head is first on the chopping block if time came. When asked for feedback I don’t get much constructive criticism.

Our company went through an exercise of redefining product roles - from business analyst, product owner, product manager to assoc pm, pm, senior pm etc. The concept is everyone with same skills - with different competency levels. My question is - what about interest? I am energized by execution, not so much strategy. Is product management for me, or should I be looking at other career paths? Note: I am not overly ambitious, but do want to have a good salary for my retirement savings😉

I’ve been onboarding at a new company for a month. I’ve been assigned to PM something a director in another department originally proposed, but I am really struggling to work out how to deal with her territorialism and defensiveness. She is insisting on being in on every conversation I have with a stakeholder, gets angry if I answer a question asked directly of me, and shoots down literally everything I’ve suggested. Her team will do most of the implementation. Any ideas on how to “manage up”?

What other roles besides delivery manager and product manager would share similar skill sets? I’m looking for a new job but there are few red flags which says I might not be the right fit for the PM role so want to explore options.
I enjoy creating solutions for customer problems and have a tech and UX as well as delivery background before landing to the current PM role, and I think there are things I am quite good at the role. (Cont in comments)
