I’ve used it in the past.

Pros: easy to use database for people that aren’t familiar with real dbs and querying, easy to share

Cons: manual. It’s so manual. Which limits scale. The UI is also a bit crowded and can be difficult to understand/navigate

Imo if your dataset is small enough that you can manually grow it in airtable just use Excel/Google sheets. If it’s too large for that it might be time to store that elsewhere

Should a DevOps Cloud Engineer with 2 years experience earning around 10 LPA (base salary) in a Fortune 200, switch to a startup which pays almost 20 LPA base salary?
The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at 20-24 LPA with just 3-4 years of experience at a startup?
All thoughts are welcome.

Hi all,
Have an interview for PM with Indeed coming up, I’m nervous I don’t have the experience analyzing data that they’re looking for. At my company, as senior pm, we always shortcut to just making intuition product decisions. Any tips on Indeed or generally studying up on data driven decision making would be so appreciated. Thank you!

I just winded up Product Sense interview at Meta. The interviewer started with quite some intro and then followed up with a question on “why would you like to work at Meta?”. That again took away some time. During the interview, I sensed a lot of urgency from the interviewer to get to articulating the user problem, and the interview overall went not as expected! Because I couldnt follow the structure I had thought I would like follow. Anyone here with insider knowledge of how this might go down?

I'm looking for ideas on measuring personal productivity as a product manager. What I'm looking for are quantities or quasi-quantities for how I work that will be leading indicators of the outcomes I create. Not looking for product, business, or dev metrics. I have those. Likewise, not work outcomes.

E.g.: hours of uninterrupted focus work, total and daily average. Number of client listening/reqs-gathering meetings, weekly or monthly.

I'd like to relate these to outcomes over time.
